WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
San Francisco isn’t the biggest city in the country, but it feels pretty vast when you’re canvassing its neighborhoods looking for clues to your missing uncle’s hidden location. Aided by my two cats, Rupert and Isabella, I try to follow Uncle Oscar’s painted clues on a trail that leads from Coit Tower’s famous murals through San Francisco’s New Deal art—all while hoping my uncle’s sudden disappearance is unrelated to the murdered intern at City Hall.
Just when it seems our search has hit a wall, we receive some surprising help from beyond. But will it be enough to save us from our own brushes with death? Here’s hoping we don’t paint ourselves into a corner…

Meet the author
Rebecca M. Hale is a graduate of Colorado State University (Biochemistry 1994) and Vanderbilt School of Law (JD 1997). After almost ten years working as a patent attorney in the San Francisco Bay Area, she took time off to write her first novel, HOW TO WASH A CAT—and never looked back. She primarily writes fiction in the form of quirky mysteries that reflect her travel experiences and many of the people she meets along the way.
She now lives in Western Colorado with her feline writing associates, that is, when she’s not off researching future books set in San Francisco, the Caribbean, or wherever else her wandering spirit takes her.
Visit Rebecca at her website, on Twitter and on Facebook.

I faintly remember having read one of the books in this series quite some time ago and wonder what happened that I haven’t kept up with it as I love cats and with this particular series, I am also a painter so I am definitely going to have to put this one my list as well. I have already done a “painting” of a cat, but it was actually a graphite/pencil painting of my last kitty. Would love to receive this book to find out what I have missed I guess.
Thank you for refreshing my memory about this author, Dru.
