Eight Miles High (The Cat Caliban Mysteries)

Review\n"Cat and her friend Moses go on what's arguably their biggest and most dangerous adventure yet! It made for a suspenseful page-turner . . . . I devoured this book in one sitting in my excitement!" -- Mint, Mint Loves Books"What's not to love about a colorful sixty-something widow who wants a shot at a second career? . . . Author D. B. Borton has expertly woven the Women Airforce Service Pilots history into the eighth book of Cat's escapades. One of the features of her writing style that I especially admire is the authenticity of her character's voices." -- Sandra Hardy, Read My Lips\nMaybe you think I was replaying this conversation in my head after I yanked the ripcord. Maybe you think that after the parachute jerked me up and after the pain in my near-dislocated shoulders subsided into a steady ache, I applied my investigative faculties to the case at hand while drifting earthward like a fallen leaf, thinking, "This is quite a two-pipe problem."
World War II veteran pilot Toots Magruder survived sabotage, criminal negligence, slander, and friendly fire during the war before crash landing her plane in the middle of a suburban Fourth of July picnic. But two of her former WASP cohorts have recently died and now she appears to be next on the killer's hit list. Can detective Cat Caliban and her partner Moses Fogg catch the murderer before another plane goes down? Can Cat survive two plane rides, a parachute jump, and a round of golf?
