Hannah Sanderson is assistant director of the Little White House museum, the property beloved by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the major tourist attraction in Warm Springs. When the body of a stranger shows up in the former servants’ quarters, Hannah’s job is two-fold. Assist with the investigation so the whole mess can be cleared up quickly, and protect her young daughter from the prying eyes of the press. Because there’s a secret hidden in her own past, and Hannah doesn’t want to relive the nightmare.
As the deaths begin to escalate, law enforcement shows up from several jurisdictions. It’s beginning to look like the cases won’t be solved quietly, but Callahan knows how to be in the right place at the right time to gather clues and provide his own special brand of assistance. The cops may be a little slow on the uptake, at times, but Cat Callahan is on the case and plans to solve the murders before Hannah and her little girl can be harmed.

Rebecca Barrett writes historical fiction, short stories of life in the South, and children’s stories. She fell in love with cozy mysteries after discovering Lillian Jackson Braun’s series. Callahan on the Case is her first in the Cat Callahan mystery series, with more to follow soon.
In addition, she is writing a detective series set in the deep South of the 1960s featuring Hugo August, a Vietnam veteran, in The Rat Catcher. She is working on the second book of the series, She Had To Die, while rocking out to the great music of the ’60s and delving into the good vibes, high times, and social unrest of that era.
An avid reader since the bookmobile began coming to their farm when she was a child, Rebecca now happily lives in the lovely village of Fairhope, Alabama, situated on Mobile Bay, where she finds inspiration all around her.
