One crash landing. Two mysterious deaths. A killer on the loose. Cat Caliban is enjoying a laid-back Fourth of July cookout when a smoking plane crashes into a nearby field. At the controls is retired WWII pilot, Toots Magruder. She’s shaken, but alive. Barely. Two of Toot’s former wartime comrades recently died in freak accidents, just days apart . . . and she’s supposed to be next. When investigators discover the plane engine was sabotaged, Cat and her trusty partner Moses are on the case. Protected only by an antique parachute, Cath must overcome her crippling fear of flying if she is to catch the murderer before another plane goes down. Perfect for fans of Steve Higgs, Dorothy Cannell, Lucy Connelly, Ellie Alexander and Richard Osman. Please note this is a revised edition of Eight Miles High.

She enjoys a G&T, has a nice line in put-downs and can rub people up the wrong way — although underneath she has a heart of gold. She’s the proud mom of three cats with three grown children who drive her crazy. Recently widowed, she embarks on a brand-new career as a private investigator, hoping her obsession with detective novels will come in handy . . . although her sharp tongue might be a hindrance. It may be late in life for such a drastic change, but Cat reckons she’s young for a detective — look at Miss Marple or Mrs. Pollifax. Even Nancy Drew had less training than Cat, so why wouldn't she be a success? Setting Northside is a rough-around-the-edges urban neighborhood in Cincinnati that might intimidate many, but not a tough broad like Cat. But it has its own quirky and gritty charm. The streets are lined with a variety of second-hand stores, including Goodwill and an army-navy surplus. The hub of the local community is Bill’s Hardware, where the widget you want is usually hanging from the ceiling. Northside may be far from upscale, but it’s the perfect place to reinvent yourself.
