    About this ebook

    Grave robbers and mummies abound in Midnight Louie's Past Life adventure.

    The feline Vegas PI returns to a former incarnation in ancient Egypt to expose a clever pyramid scheme to rob the pharaoh's tomb. This is an Egypt where a canny and courageous outcast black cat can escape the necropolis and rise to the honorable position of Pharaoh's Footstool, becoming the first Private Eye of Horus. Ancient evil-doers, touch not the cat.

    "Carole Nelson Douglas's evocation of a late Pharaoh's mummified cat that won't stay dead packs two teasing mysteries and some heads-up detection into the space of a sarcophagus."
    —Kirkus

    “A clever tale narrated by a sacred cat at Pharaoh’s court in ancient Egypt.”—Publishers Weekly

    Carole Nelson Douglas

    Carole Nelson Douglas, author of more than fifty fantasy and science fiction, mystery, mainstream, and romance novels, was an award-winning reporter and editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. After writing some bestselling high fantasy novels and SF thrillers, she imported fantasy notions into her Midnight Louie mystery series, which features a hard-boiled Las Vegas PI who’s a feline “Sam Spade with hairballs.” Her Irene Adler historical series made Carole the first author to use a woman from the Sherlock Holmes stories as a protagonist in the 1991 New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. She’s won or been short-listed for more than fifty writing awards in nonfiction, sf/fantasy, mystery, and romance genres, including several from the Romance Writers of America and Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine, and the Cat Writers’ Association. In 2008, RT BOOKreviews magazine named Carole a “pioneer of the publishing industry. Carole and husband Sam Douglas, a former art museum exhibitions director and kaleidoscope designer, are kept as pets by five stray cats and a dog in Fort Worth, Texas. She collects vintage clothing, and does a mean Marilyn Monroe impersonation, and, yes, she does dance, but not with werewolves. As far as she knows.

      as a dedicated cat cozy reader, you may find this a delight sojourn into Midnight Louie's (way) past origins, as i did. as a cat lover in general, it is a lovely story of a young tom's humble beginnings in ancient Egypt, along with some history of the origin of the species. whatever your reason for checking this out, i hope you enjoy this little story, short and sweet. thanks again Carole!
