Ring Game: A Cold Poker Gang Mystery: Cold Poker Gang, #10

By Dean Wesley Smith

Turns out retired Las Vegas Detectives Benson Cavanaugh and Bonnie State enjoy working together, even after years of working alone. And on their second time to a Cold Poker Gang Task Force meeting, they take home not only an impossible forty-year-old cold case murder to solve, but a family of cats.

Slowly, detail by detail, Bonnie and Cavanaugh piece together what happened to not only their original murder victim, but to other victims over the years.

A twisted mystery of the good in the world colliding with the bad. And, of course, cats. Lots of cats.
