Now in library edition hardcover! LOVE AND LARCENY: THE GREAT RACE TO DEADLY VEGAS TREASURE! New York Times Notable Book of the Year author Carole Nelson Douglas's cast of four human crime solvers must not only stop a massive Las Vegas conspiracy involving international terrorism, but solve a romantic triangle. In the long-awaited twenty-eighth and final Midnight Louie Alphabet mystery, the feline PI must don white tie and tails for the wedding of petite PR powerhouse amateur sleuth and Louie's faithful roommate, Temple Barr. Will ex-priest Matt Devine's inside track lose out to the return of that wily dark horse, magician Max Kinsella? The suspense is killing somebody. A Strip-wide resurgence of the long-vanquished Las Vegas mob could have Temple in search of an undertaker rather than a Justice of the Peace. Luckily, Midnight Louie and the Las Vegas Cat Pack are planning their finest moments to bring down the baddies. But no one can help Temple find which way her wayward heart must go. JANET EVANOVICH calls Midnight Louie "the funniest, hairiest, hard-boiled detective on the planet." The Prime Suspect finds the series "everything you might want in a mystery: glitzy Las Vegas, real characters, suspense, a tough puzzle, and...on top of it all, a fine sense of humor and some illuminating social commentary." "Las Vegas's feline detective extraordinary returns... Louie is an irresistible combination of Nathan Detroit and Sam Spade. Plenty of interest here for a lengthy, fun-filled series."-Mostly Murder "If it's murder, it must be Midnight Louie time! Carole Nelson Douglas's cool dude feline detective pulls off some fancy footwork when he matches wits with a murderer...Written with stylish zest and irresistible panache, this clever tale operates on a multiplicity of levels."-Melinda Helfer, RT Book Reviews 4¿ stars
Autorenporträt
From USA Today bestseller Carole Nelson Douglas in fall, 2018, comes Absinthe Without Leave, the first book in a new Midnight Louie feline PI series readers requested. Douglas writes two Las Vegas-set series: the alphabetically titled 28 Midnight Louie feline PI mysteries partially narrated by a "Sam Spade with claws", and the Delilah Street Paranormal Investigator noir urban fantasies (werewolf mobsters and Silver Screen zombies) set in a paranormal Sin City. Absinthe Without Leave combines the two series. Douglas has also written science fiction thrillers and high fantasy, historical and contemporary romance. She's the first woman author of a Sherlockian series and the first to use a female protagonist (Holmes' out-witter Irene Adler), with the New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. A four-time Romance Writers Rita Award finalist in four different categories, with RT Book Reviews Career Achievement awards in Suspense, Mystery, Versatility and as a Pioneer of Publishing, and the holder of many Catwriters' Association Muse Medallions in fiction, Carole rescues cats and works at home among mannequins in vintage dress. She does a wicked Marilyn Monroe impersonation (she edited a short story collection on the iconic star), but her literary muse is definitely feline: mysterious, playful, and packing sharp shivs in velvet gloves.
