Kathleen Paulson enjoys her life as a small-town librarian with two extraordinary cats, Owen and Hercules, who provide companionship during the quiet times and have a remarkable talent for sleuthing when murder disturbs the peace.... The local businesses of Mayville Heights hope to convince Chicago-based company Legacy Tours to sell a vacation package for their town. Legacy Tours partner Mike Glazer grew up in Mayville Heights, but hes no longer the small-town boy people once knew. Even the local bootlegger has an issue with the bossy loudmouth Mike has become--until someone shuts him up for good. When Kathleen discovers Mikes body on the boardwalk, she cant help but get involved in the investigation--even if her beau, Detective Marcus Gordon, would rather she didnt. Now, with a little help from Owen and Hercules, its up to Kathleen to make sure the killer is booked for an extended stay in prison before someone else takes a permanent vacation.
