Five Star is pleased to present Catherine

Dain s first short story collection Here

are the briefer, but no less thrilling cases

and crimes involving her feisty detecting

heroine Freddie O Neal, psychic

Mariana Morgan, and Faith Cassidy.

In "Dreams of Jeannie," psychic

Mariana Morgan dreams of a murdered

client who is less concerned about having

her murderer apprehended than about

stopping a bombing. Too many accidents

are happening on the set of a live televi-

sion cooking show. The hostess hires

Freddie O Neal to find out who is

spoiling the broth in "Too Many Cooks."

In "Defrauding the Cat," when Faith

Cassidy s friend Michael discovers that

someone has attempted to steal money

from his checking account, money from

his cat Elizabeth s television commercial,

they track down the thief and see that

justice is done. "Here Today, Dead to

Maui" finds Faith and Michael in Maui,

where Elizabeth s new car food commer-

cial is being shot. When Elizabeth disap-

pears, Faith must convince the camapper

to bring her back unharmed.

In "Many Happy Returns," a woman

released from jail after serving an unusu-

ally short sentence for the murder of her

abusive husband has an appointment to

keep.

These stones and the others included

in Dreams of Jeannie and Other Stories

make this the definitive Catherine Dain

collection.
