About This Item
New York: Scribner. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Two bumped corners. Protected in a removable Brodart cover. Black boards with yellow cloth spine imprinted with title and author in black. Full number line 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 . 0.98 x 8.75 x 5.81 Inches. 288 pages. A Cat Marsala Mystery, No. 9. The story begins at a big centennial Oz festival in Chicago's Grant Park. Investigative reporter Cat Marsala rediscovers the wonderful world of Oz when she takes her six-year-old nephew Jeremy to meet Dorothy and the Tin Man and to explore the Yellow Brick Road, the Emerald City, and all the other Oz-inspired creations to be found at the summer festival celebrating a century of Oz books. It's opening day, and Cat is babysitting her brother Barry's young son while Barry, a professional events organizer, confers with dignitaries. But suddenly a day of pure delight turns into a scene of horror. Cat and Jeremy witness a murder, and the chief suspect is a man they both love - Barry. He can't be the killer, but Cat also can't deny what she saw with her own eyes. Cat's first priority is to get Jeremy away from the devastation. They run to the merry-go-round, but as they circle on the brightly painted animals, a shot rings out. Someone is aiming at Cat, or perhaps at the boy. Could Barry be desperate enough to shoot at his own sister and child, the only witnesses to the killing? Desperate to save Jeremy, Cat grabs him and ducks into one of the tunnels that lead out to Michigan Avenue. As she and her nephew crawl for their lives, they know they are not in Kansas anymore. Someone far more evil than the Wicked Witch is in pursuit, and the magical world of Oz seems very far away. .
