Don Harstad, in a departure from his Midwest police procedurals, has penned a
stand alone featuring Katarina, at wits ends in the employment department, who
tries her hand finding alternative sources of remuneration, by setting up an
intricate casino scam on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. Just as the scam is
about to go down, Charlie "Bird" Parker, on a well-deserved vacation,
after solving a gruesome serial killing spree in the Maine backwoods, stumbles
on the nefarious plot. Bird realizes, after a vivid dream, that Katarina is more
than the simple Swedish ex-librarian she's posing as, and with the help of Angel
and Louis, (who have taken jobs with cruise ship security after threats to sink
the ship are received by the cruise line) he thwarts not only the plot to sink
the ship, but the evil Katarina's casino scam, with only the loss of half the
ships passengers. The company insuring the cruise line files for bankruptcy.

I'm sorry. I'm going to have to sue you for plagiarism. On behalf of John Baker,
who already wrote a stand-alone about Katarina, at wits end in the employment
department, heading off to Minneapolis to throw her hat in the air and
"make it after all" with a job at Mary F's company, but is first
falsely accused of a casino scam on a Great Lakes gambling ship that she
stumbled aboard while reading and not paying attention to stupid American street
signs but where Patrick and Angie, thank heavens, are currently vacationing,
regrouping, napping...and thank the Gods and Mr. Grant for their presence,
because they prove her innocence, thereby allowing Katarina to continue turning
the world on with her smile and taking a nothing day and suddenly making it all
seem worthwhile.
