The cat sitter's cradle : [a Dixie Hemingway mystery]
(Book)

"A Thomas Dunne book."

No mission is impossible for pet sitter Dixie Hemingway. On an early morning walk, she spots an exotic bird rarely seen north of the equator, much less in the sleepy beach-side town of Siesta Key, Florida. At first, Dixie thinks the bird has been blown off course by a terrible storm but as she digs deeper into where the bird came from, Dixie becomes increasingly suspicious of its origins. When one client is found dead and a new friend and her baby disappear without warning, Dixie is pulled into a whirlwind of greed, deception and danger.
