Adventure Cat (Crazy Cat Lady Mystery)by Mollie Hunt
About Adventure Cat
Five years ago, cat shelter volunteer Lynley Cannon discovered a gym bag in a warehouse. Inside the bag were a kitten, a cat toy, and ten thousand dollars. Then shots began to fly. Now, half a decade later, Lynley is thrown back with the very people from whom she’d been running.
Adventure cats, those fantastic felines who go boating, hiking, and traveling into the wilds! When Friends of Felines cat shelter starts their own adventure cat group, taking cats for strolls in the quiet parks of Portland, Lynley can’t wait to join up.
Then disaster happens! Dirty Harry slips out of his harness and runs up the Mt. Tabor hillside, leading Lynley on a merry chase. Finally she finds him resting in the arms of an enigmatic stranger named Carry. Carry lives a solitary life in a bungalow at the top of the hill, surrounded by an amazing red-foliaged garden. Carry has a cat of her own, the very kitten Lynley rescued five years previous and been shot at for the effort! Suddenly Lynley finds herself embroiled in the caper that precipitated that long-ago encounter. She survived the first round, but can her luck continue to hold?"
Prologue
The Lady tapped a blood-red fingernail on the lacquered table. The Man in Black cowered before her, looking much like a naughty child.
“You lost the Mafdet?” It was a curse.
“There were unforeseen circumstances, ma’am.”
“There are always unforeseen circumstances, Kurt. That’s why I pay you the big bucks.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The woman rose and began to pace. Her Chinese robe swept the ground as she walked in spite of her four-inch spike heels. She paused and faced the window, a black void of night. Tossing back a long lock of pewter hair, she returned her attention to Kurt.
“We will retrieve the Goddess—the kitten is microchipped. But the artifact, Kurt. The artifact. How are we to recover it now?”
“It’s hidden in the ball, the cat toy. Maybe whoever took the Goddess will keep it with her, figure it’s hers.”
The woman said nothing, and Kurt lowered his head, knowing what a long shot that would be. The Mafdet, ancient and beyond price, cleverly encased in a fifty-cent bauble, could be anywhere by now.
“Find the Goddess. Find the artifact.”
“And the money?”
Ice-green eyes shot a gorgon stare. “The money will come out of your cut.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Kurt sighed.
As the fingernail began to drum the table once more, Kurt turned and exited the room. He breathed with relief as he always did upon leaving the Lady’s deadly presence, but his relief was short-lived as he considered the impossible task before him.
