Cat Callahan. The big gray cat with the battered right ear isn't exactly a stray, nor is he homeless, since the kind-hearted folks of Warm Springs, Georgia, willingly invite him in and slip him all the tender morsels he wants. He's known by most as 'that darn cat' a feline who shows up whenever something unexplained happens. But Callahan doesn't acquire his name until a drifter comes to town, a man named Benjamin Matthew Daxter, "Dax" for short-hobo by choice. And it's within days after Dax shows up that the murders begin. Hannah Sanderson is assistant director of the Little White House museum, the property beloved by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the major tourist attraction in Warm Springs. When the body of a stranger shows up in the former servants' quarters, Hannah's job is two-fold. Assist with the investigation so the whole mess can be cleared up quickly, and protect her young daughter from the prying eyes of the press. Because there's a secret hidden in her own past, and Hannah doesn't want to relive the nightmare. As the deaths begin to escalate, law enforcement shows up from several jurisdictions. It's beginning to look like the cases won't be solved quietly, but Callahan knows how to be in the right place at the right time to gather clues and provide his own special brand of assistance. The cops may be a little slow on the uptake, at times, but Cat Callahan is on the case and plans to solve the murders before Hannah and her little girl can be harmed.
