Seventh Deadly Sin

Take it from me, Cat Caliban: if someone who looks and sounds like me, with or without picklocks, ever shows up in answer to your prayers, you'd better have a serious heart-to-heart with your maker.

High school sophomore Peter Baer had everything going for him before ending up in the river with a rope around his neck. Hired to find his killer, detective-in-training Cat Caliban begins digging for Peter's secrets and finds them in an evangelical ministry, where the star attraction is a chimpanzee named Evie. Can Cat crack the case before a killer strikes again? Will Evie find a way to tell what she knows?

Seventh Deadly Sin is the seventh mystery in the Cat Caliban series, featuring Cincinnati's newest, oldest, funniest detective.

Cat Caliban is a good match for fans of women detectives like Miss Marple and Mrs. Pollifax, as well as Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series.
