    In the shadowy crossroads of deep-space outposts, where wanderers trade stories as often as credits, one woman stands apart: Steena—quiet, sharp-eyed, and possessed of a mind that never forgets. A thin, gray figure with a photographic memory and an uncanny instinct for danger, Steena has saved more lives than she’s ever claimed credit for. And when Bub Nelson brings her Bat, a massive gray tom-cat with a growl like a reactor core, the two form a bond as mysterious as the galaxy itself. 
    From the rites of Jupiter’s moons to the treasure-sparked Slitite rush, from smoky spacer bars to derelict ships drifting in cold void, Steena’s knowledge cuts deeper than rumor and sharper than luck. But it’s her unraveling of the legendary Empress of Mars mystery that cements her as one of the most enigmatic—and indispensable—figures on the star lanes. 
    Andre Norton blends noir atmosphere, cosmic intrigue, and strange companionship in this classic science-fiction tale of intuition, survival, and the quiet intelligence that sees what others overlook. Narrated by Drew Caton with grit, subtlety, and atmospheric tension, All Cats Are Grey is a voyage into the margins of the galaxy… where secrets live, legends breathe, and a gray woman and her gray cat walk unafraid.

    On Thanksgiving Day, LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield and her partner, Ed Taylor, are called to an apartment building on the edge of Beverly Hills to investigate a premeditated and pitiless murder. 
     
     
     
    No one appears particularly grieved by the shocking end to old-time Hollywood director Owen Sinclair. Surely not three other tenants of the Beverly Malibu, who worked in the motion picture industry during the blacklist years and loathed Sinclair. 
     
     
     
    Nor is Sinclair's latest ex-wife grieved or even his children. Nor film actress and former paramour Maxine Marlowe. Nor Dudley Kincaid, whose brilliant screenplay Sinclair stole. Nor landlady Hazel Turner, whose husband, Jerome, is deceased but not exactly gone . . .  
     
     
     
    Kate sifts through tantalizing clues: a set of handcuffs fastening the murdered man to his bed of death; an album of a Wagner opera; a bourbon bottle lightly dosed with arsenic; a silver frame missing its photo. 
     
     
     
    She is also in a quandary over her fascination with Paula Grant, who discovered the murdered man. Until she is suddenly confounded by a wholly new aspect of herself uncovered by Aimee Grant, Paula Grant's remarkably beautiful young niece . . .

    🐐 Dairy goat farmer and cheesemaker Nanny Nightingale is preparing for the County Fair when her prize-winning baby goat is kidnapped and the fair's dairy judge—a notoriously strict official with shady connections—is found dead in her barn, surrounded by suspiciously chewed competition documents. The police suspect a rival farmer, but Nanny notices the tooth marks don't match her goats and the victim's scoring sheets contain coded symbols about milk quality manipulation. With her farm under scrutiny and the farming community butting heads, Nanny must hoof it to solve the case. Assisted by her 4-H dairy club and the handsome veterinary odontologist analyzing tooth impressions, Nanny uncovers a scheme involving goat identity theft, fraudulent milk records, and a sophisticated operation switching premium breeding stock. From suspicious hoof prints that reveal unfamiliar animals to milk composition that doesn't match the breed standards, every clue tells a story. But when Nanny discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging small dairy operations to drive them out of business, she realizes the killer is protecting family farms more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the county fair approaching and the real goat-napper still milking the situation, Nanny must separate the truth from the whey before her own farm gets permanently curdled.
