One of the most celebrated crime story writers of our time, Anthony and Macavity Award-winning author Jan Grape's first short story collection shows off her talent for every hue and mood of tale, from tragedy to belly-laugh comedy. Join private investigators Jenny Gordon and Cinnamon Jemima (C.J.) Gunn, the dynamic duo of G & G Investigations, as they travel through the streets of Texas solving case after case. Mystery writer, Robbie Dunlap and her husband Sheriff Damon deal with murder quickly and brilliantly as they discover the darker intrigues which lay hidden in small towns. Meet Zoe Barrow, lead character of Grape's Anthony nominated debut novel, Austin City Blue, in this Christmas story that reminds Zoe of the true spirit of the season. And in one of Jan's most celebrated stories, "Kittens Take Detection 101," Jenny learns that having two little black cats helping can bring about an intriguing method to solving cases.
