| Five Star is pleased to present Catherine Dain s first short story collection Here are the briefer, but no less thrilling cases and crimes involving her feisty detecting heroine Freddie O Neal, psychic Mariana Morgan, and Faith Cassidy. In "Dreams of Jeannie," psychic Mariana Morgan dreams of a murdered client who is less concerned about having her murderer apprehended than about stopping a bombing. Too many accidents are happening on the set of a live televi- sion cooking show. The hostess hires Freddie O Neal to find out who is spoiling the broth in "Too Many Cooks." In "Defrauding the Cat," when Faith Cassidy s friend Michael discovers that someone has attempted to steal money from his checking account, money from his cat Elizabeth s television commercial, they track down the thief and see that justice is done. "Here Today, Dead to Maui" finds Faith and Michael in Maui, where Elizabeth s new car food commer- cial is being shot. When Elizabeth disap- pears, Faith must convince the camapper to bring her back unharmed. In "Many Happy Returns," a woman released from jail after serving an unusu- ally short sentence for the murder of her abusive husband has an appointment to keep. These stones and the others included in Dreams of Jeannie and Other Stories make this the definitive Catherine Dain collection. |
