Hard Road (a Cat Marsala Mystery) [Paperback]

Jeremy, do you remember in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, Dorothy had gone to California, and there was a big earthquake and Dorothy, and Jim the cab-horse, and the boy Jeb, all fell down a hole in the earth? And they had lots of adventures? And then finally they came to Oz. Of course I remember! Well, this is a lot like that. Some of their adventures were scary, Aunt Cat.

And resourceful, Jeremy, because I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Praise for Barbara D'Amato's Cat Marsala Novels Cat is as likable as she is clever.
