Jaime (et al):

    The book is "Dinosaur Cat: A 'Big Mike' Mystery" by Garrison Allen
(Hardcover - $20.00).

    The following is copied from Amazon.com: -

"Synopsis:
     Mystery bookstore owner Penelope Warren and her intrepid feline
co-sleuth, Mycroft are on
    the case, after the discovery of a baby Seismosaurus Rex fossil in Empty
Creek, Arizona, leads
    to the murder of a young scientist. "

>From a review (also on Amazon.com):

    "Good Mystery, fun humor and great characters!

        Dinosaur Cat is number 5 in Garrison Allen's 'Big Mike' mystery
series and like all the books
        features Mycroft and his human Penelope, mystery book store owner in
Empty Creek, AZ.
        The story revolves around some dinosaur bones and a body found in
the desert around
        Empty Creek. After an mysterious explosion destroys all the evidence
before Penelope and
        Big Mike can reach the crime scene and the media decends on Empty
Creek Penelope and
        Mikey must do their best to find the likley suspects and the list is
long. "

See you can find things out on the Internet!!!
