The Missing Calico

When Assistant Professor Millicent Anderson determines to help her childhood friend and colleague, Will Pollard, prepare for an interview at a major university, she has no idea how difficult or dangerous a task it will be. She soon realizes that to help him, she must stay ahead of a cunning villain determined to drive Will over the edge—perhaps literally—20 years after an intruder murdered his fiancée and stole an antique porcelain calico cat. Tenure obstacles, an unexpected love tangle, and the reappearance of the missing figurine complicate Millicent's task of saving Will's life—and her own.
