The Lower Case : Octavius Bear Book 4

After a triumphant singing debut at the Edinbeargh Opera, polaratura Bearnice Blanc and her baritone partner Leperello arrive at Winnipeg to begin a North American tour. With them is their talent agent Maury Meerkat, Octavius Bear's sidekick. Also on board is Bearnice's twin sister Bearyl, a budding actress. Unfortunately, they are also accompanied by Honoria Heifer, a preposterously bad voice coach. No sooner have they arrived than the cow appears on a TV chat show, claiming that the singers are light on talent and skill and that she, Honoria, has been totally responsible for their current popularity. Bearnice and Lepi are enraged and storm out of the hotel lounge in pursuit of Honoria. Next morning, Honoria is found dead outside the TV station with her neck broken and several gashes in her hide. The singers are the number one suspects. Enter Octavius and his entourage to assist the Royal Canadian Unmounted Police in finding the real culprits. Then another murder livens things up further. This time it's an Arctic Fox, the personal assistant to the TV station manager. Are the crimes connected? It seems so but how and why? With a host of potential suspects both at the Opera and the TV station, the plot definitely thickens. Alternate universes play a major role in this volume.--Page [4] of cover.
