Unique crimes call for unique detectivesWhen a good friend's beloved granddaughter is murdered, our ambisexual downsized-social-worker and her cat, Bunnywit, are enlisted to help solve the case. For the police, Madeline is just one more dead sex worker - so it is down to our hero and her friends to uncover what happened to her (though not the cat. The cat mainly sulks.)With humour, sarcasm and a good dose of irony, our protagonist swaggers through the mean streets of a Canadian city tracking down leads to get the bad guy. Aided by a love of mystery fiction the gang dives deep into the underbelly of city life. What at first seems an average street killing is actually the surface of a grandiose and glittering set of criminal schemes...

When childhood friend Pris breezes back into her life begging for help with a dangerous stalker, our heroine is thrust suddenly into the world of the Canadian uber-rich. When Pris's stalker is then murdered outside her book launch, the case is closed just as quickly as it started.But something still doesn't feel right, so our nameless heroine delves into her old friend's past, seeking the mastermind behind Pris's troubles. Bunnywit does his level best to warn them, but no one else speaks Cat, so background peril soon becomes foreground betrayal and murder. Our detective walks a dangerous path in a world where money is no object and the stakes are higher, and more personal, than ever before.
