Merlin in Key West

The Keys are calling.
Merlin demands you answer.
When Professor Eliza Bennett receives an unexpected invitation to the International Silk & Sustainability Summit in sun-drenched Key West, she thinks she’s in for a quiet conference, a bit of sightseeing, and maybe a few six-toed cats. Instead, she and her snarky, orange-and-white feline partner, Merlin, walk straight into a tropical storm of sabotage, secrets, and a very real ghost story.
The moment they arrive, nothing is as it seems. A shredded 1930s wedding veil, a trail of red clay that shouldn’t exist on the island, and a gold cigar cutter engraved with a mysterious V all point to a break-in at the Hemingway Home. As Hurricane Henriette barrels toward Key West, Eliza races to decode a hidden map woven into the historic lace—while Merlin battles mutant polydactyl cats, rogue chickens, and a villainous curator who smells exactly like trouble.
With a storm closing in, a corrupt restoration magnate closing ranks, and a buried treasure hidden somewhere beneath the island’s most sacred ground, the world’s most irritable talking cat and his long-suffering human must solve the mystery before Key West loses a priceless piece of history—or becomes the stage for a perfect crime.
Sun. Salt. Sabotage. Six-toed cats. Merlin’s worst nightmare—and your next favorite adventure.
Join Merlin as he claws his way through island mysteries, hurricane mayhem, and more attitude than one cat should legally contain.
