The Cat Crosses a Line

Gerry Coneybear is back from vacation and settling in for the last three months of her pregnancy -- or trying to settle. She's busy with her work as a cartoonist and children's book author; looking after the twenty cats her aunt bequeathed her along with the big old house on the Ottawa River; and trying to blend her solitary life with her cats with that of her boyfriend Doug and his three almost adult sons.

Gerry is nervous about navigating motherhood for the first time without her mom but finds support from her new friends at her prenatal yoga class. Baby showers, candy-making, and prepping the nursery fill her free time -- but things take a dark turn when Gerry stumbles upon a body at a local archeological dig site, soon followed by news of the suspicious suicide of her new friend's husband.

As a massive winter storm brews, Gerry -- now almost nine months pregnant -- finds herself snowed in, with a missing cat and a couple of ghosts. With danger lurking close to home, can Gerry piece together the clues before her due date?
