Cat of the Century -- Rita Mae Brown

Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen's beloved, tart-tongued neighbor Aunt Tally is about to turn the big 1-0-0, and the alumnae association of Tally's alma mater is throwing a big fund-raising bash in her honor. The plan is to celebrate Tally's centennial and recoup some much-needed school revenue lost in the cratered economy, but when a killer blizzard bears down and a board member goes missing, it falls to Harry and her menagerie of mystery solvers to track down the truth behind what is rapidly becoming a perfect storm of embezzlement, political corruption, and the kind of long-smoldering enmity that can explode into murder. Does the key lie in a forty-year-old unsolved death? If so, Harry and her four-legged friends better find it or--even at a hundred years old--Aunt Tally may outlive them all.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Rita Mae Brown<br><b>Publisher:</b> Bantam<br><b>Published:</b> 01/25/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.91h x 4.28w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780553591606<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Rita Mae Brown </b>is the bestselling author of the Sneaky Pie Brown series; the Sister Jane series; <i>A Nose for Justice </i>and<i> Murder Unleashed; Rubyfruit Jungle; In Her Day; </i>and <i>Six of One, </i>as well as several other novels.
