Private Eye Cats Book Two

Scooter and Nugget are two Miami Beach cats who have become private investigators. A neighbor's dog, Jewel, is kidnapped and the cats decide to take the case.

Just a few months after solving their first case as Private Eye Cats, Scooter and Nugget realize its time to get back to work as crime fighting detectives after another mysterious crime occurs in their usually quiet Miami Beach neighborhood. Their second case, however, proves to be more puzzling and dangerous than their first. When these two feline sisters discover that a dog named Jewel has been kidnapped from her home and the police are offering little help in solving the case, they move quickly to find the thief and return Jewel to her owner. Using their ability to speak English as well as cat talk, and with the help of their human friend Tyrone Williams who worked with them on their first case, they plan a course of action. Solving this crime will be far from easy. The crime fighting cats have no idea who the kidnapper is. They not only have to discover the identity of the lawbreaker, they also have to figure out a way to contact him. Scooter, Nugget, and Mr. Williams face an additional challenge. How can they trick the thief into meeting with them so they are able to recover Jewel and have their suspect arrested? Step by step, as in their first case, our detectives work out every detail of how they will investigate this misdeed and see it to a successful conclusion. However, it seems that every stride they make in the right direction leads to a dead end, and the kidnapper turns out to be a dangerous character. Your heart will race as you follow the action. Youll wonder all along if Jewel will ever be returned. You will also be surprised at who becomes the hero of this adventure. The Case Of The Kidnapped Dog is an entertaining story for you to read and a real test of the crime detection abilities of our private eye sisters.

Scooter and Nugget cannot be content like most other house cats eating, sleeping, and annoying their humans. These two sisters, who just happen to speak English as well as cat talk, decide to sneak outside on a regular basis to explore their neighborhood. When they overhear their human housemates Tony and Misty discussing a recent burglary in the area, Scooter and Nugget decide to become amateur detectives and solve the case. Getting outside is easy once Tony and Misty go off to work. Dealing with the challenges of outdoor cats who are unfriendly and downright mean, dogs who would love to prove to them who rules the streets, and a group of gang cats who want them off their turf is not so easy. One challenge after another seems to prevent the cats from solving the crime. How do they track the criminals down? How do they figure out where the thieves will strike next? What do they do if and when they finally do catch them? Nugget, younger and less experienced than Scooter, does not have a clue how to answer these questions. Scooter, older and wiser, has a plan. Follow along as the plan is put into action. With the help of Tyrone Williams, a teacher at the local middle school who discovers by accident the secret that the cats can speak English, the plot unfolds. These private eye cats will reveal to you just how successful two four legged felines can be when they become determined to put a plan into action.

In this novel, the first in The Fairlington Lavender Detective Series, S.N. Bronstein's main character is Fairlington Lavender, a retired cop who is working as a private investigator. Lavender is an enigma. He is often arrogant, sometimes foul mouthed, and always devious and unconventional as he meticulously works toward solving a case. Yet, when Lavender suspects that a politically connected, wealthy, entrepreneur, Mr. Kendall Somers murdered an eighteen year old girl, Lavender's insights into the dynamics of psychology, sociology, and social psychology become apparent. He advances into the lives of his antagonists like a philosopher-gumshoe. His friend Al; Sherry, his former supervisor at the police department; the reprobate Dean Powell; and Somers all become witness to Lavender's ability to intersect inductive reasoning, instinct, and old school detective work into the effort to solve a murder. Along with these traits, Lavender adds the additional ingredient of a total disregard for the procedural limitations that restrain his peers at the police department. The Case of the Miami Philanthropist is a great diversion for a rainy day that affords the reader a fast moving detective story, written in a unique style unlike most conventional thrillers. The book will be hard to put down. It's a page turner from the minute Lavender meets Al and Powell at the county jail, until the murderer is finally apprehended.
