Midnight Louie is the savvy black tomcat who stars in his very own series by Carole Nelson Douglas. One tough hombre, he knows the score and always gets his man . . . or rat. Louie's hot on a new case-a whole bunch in fact, in Midnight Louie's Pet Detectives. He's pulled together stories of mystery, murder, and mayhem to bring us some of the wildest-and furriest-cases around, written by today's most prominent authors.
With an introduction from Lawrence Block and all-new stories from such masters of the mystery as Dorothy Cannell, J.A. Jance, Nancy Pickard, and Ann Perry, as well as a reprint from Lilian Jackson Braun, Midnight Louie's Pet Detectives is a treat for mystery readers . . . and animal lovers of all flavors.

Carole Nelson Douglas is the author of the bestselling Midnight Louie series, which include Cat in a Hot Pink Pursuit, Cat in a Neon Nightmare, Cat in a Midnight Choir, and many more. She is also the author of the historical suspense series featuring Irene Adler, the only woman ever to have “outwitted” Sherlock Holmes. She resides in Fort Worth, Texas.
Purportedly chosen by Las Vegas PI Midnight Louie, himself the feline protagonist of nine mystery novels, these 17 stories--with the exception of a 1966 reprint by Lilian Jackson Braun--all boast a 1998 copyright date. In addition to the usual cats and dogs, furred and feathered creatures featured here run the gamut from lovebird to screech owl and from hamster to elephant, with a Tasmanian devil thrown in. Human characters include not only a common wife abuser and perhaps not-so-common cat-loving cop but also Oscar Wilde and Sherlock Holmes (the latter with Sara Bernhardt as client!). Brief introductions to the selections and succinct bibliographic notes on contributors, mostly veterans such as Bill Crider, Ed Gorman, Nancy Pickard, and Barbara Paul, among others, add fun and interest--and editor Douglas' afterword offers some serious thoughts on human cruelty to animals. An unabashedly anthropomorphic, wonderfully diverse assortment for animal/mystery lovers. Barbara Duree
