MOVIE CAT
by Garrison Allen
A double dose of bad luck for director C.D. Masterly: The Ears of the Elephant looks to be his last movie, and he’s going to die far from Hollywood, surrounded by unfriendly faces, in Empty Creek, Arizona. Detecting honors go once again to Empty Creek bookstore owner Penelope Warren, sister of featured Elephant actress Storm Williams, and her feline sleuth Big Mike (Dinosaur Cat, 1998, etc.).
