Description
Your new cozy mystery obsession!
Meet Cat. Retired housewife. Budding private investigator. Reluctant parachutist.
When Cat Caliban stumbles across a suspicious plane crash at a Fourth of July barbecue, she figures it’s just another chapter in her accidental new career. But then a former WWII pilot turns up at her door with a story about sabotage, a group of feisty ex-WASPs, and two sudden deaths disguised as accidents. Cat smells a rat — and it’s not just the scent wafting from the footlocker in her basement.
Armed with a sassy attitude, a stubborn streak, and one very opinionated golden retriever named Happy, Cat dives into a mystery that stretches from the cornfields of suburban Ohio to the skies above wartime Texas. But someone wants the past buried — and they’re willing to kill to keep it that way.
And Cat? She’s just crazy enough to dig it up.
A smart, funny, and fierce whodunnit full of aerial intrigue, vintage grit, and killer banter.
Perfect for fans of Rita Mae Brown, Sara Paretsky, Nancy Atherton, Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, and Sue Henry.
Please note this is a revised edition of Eight Miles High.

—“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.”
