A six-million-dollar portrait of Bastet the cat goddess is stolen from the Kibble Museum of Fine Arts. Days later, the high priest of her cult is brutally murdered. Something sinister is afoot, and it’s up to her son Snowball to unravel the plot and save her from a mysterious enemy. His list of suspects includes a hot-headed cop prone to violence, a dorky cult member obsessed with the high priest’s girlfriend, and a fanatical Catholic priest with a collection of pope bobbleheads and a seething hatred of pagans. Snowball also has to overcome crippling anxiety, troublesome vices, and his propensity for getting stuck in trees. With his mother’s immortality at stake, can he crack the case before he runs out of lives?

The Temple of Bastet is the second book in the Mangy Detective series.
