This will be the final novel in the
Cassie Doolin Mystery Series
Numerous publishing companies, large and small, are going broke these days, or are being gobbled up by larger publishers significantly reducing competition and leaving many writers to turn to small independents – sometimes with tragic results.
The fourth and final book in the Cassie Doolin Mystery Series, finds Cassie contracting with a small independent book publisher, Purple Frog Tongue Publishing in Eastland, Kansas, in order to have her catering cookbook published. When the publisher, Oz Arnold, evades her attempts to confront him about the lack of progress in the completion of her book, Cassie joins with several other stymied writers and becomes involved in a mystery which leads them down a yellow brick road of intrigue. The want-to-be authors find themselves investigating human traffickers, murder and mayhem in a story with a “tip-of-the-hat” to the Wizard of Oz.
