French Polished Murder
When Dyce Dare decides to refinish a piano as a gift for her boyfriend, Cas Wolfe, the last thing he expects is to stumble on an old letter that provides a clue to an older murder. She thinks her greatest problems in life are that her friend gave her son a toy motorcycle, and that her son has become unaccountably attached to a neurotic black cat named Pythagoras. She is not prepared for forgotten murder to reach out and threaten her and everything she loves, including her parents' mystery bookstore.
