        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!!!
