About This Book

Maybe 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?

Eight Miles High is the eighth mystery in the Cat Caliban series, featuring Cincinnati's newest, oldest, funniest detective.

Cat Caliban is a good match for fans of women detectives like Miss Marple and Mrs. Pollifax, as well as Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series.
