Not fully recovered from his head injury suffered when his late
wife’s enemies killed her and left him for dead in their Connecticut home (see Dead Anyway), Arthur Cathcart
feels safe in his new identity especially after they took care of their foes
(see Cries of the Lost). Arthur and his girlfriend psychologist
Natsumi Fitzgerald enjoy sailing his ship Detour on the Caribbean. However, his contention that it is over
proves false when hired guns invade his sailboat, demanding he turn over the
missing billion. He insists he knows
nothing about the lost loot.
Warned to find it or else, Arthur and Natsumi conclude they must
go home to face criminal charges involving stealing money and murder. Though the FBI and mobsters make the pair
toxic with their wanted dead or alive pursuit, Arthur’s sister Evelyn who faked
his death (see Dead Anyway) and ex-Fed Shelly Gross assist the beleaguered
couple; while Cathcart shows once again his uncanny adaptability skill under
pressure.
The third Cathcart amateur
sleuth is an action-packed cat and mouse
thriller in which who readers believe are the felines and rodents change during
the storyline. Fans will root for agile Arthur
and nimble Natsumi; as the awesome lovers take the fight in person and on line to
the enemy.
