β¦ Synopsis
Waltz, tango, foxtrot...murder?
Not much has changed about Selena's fussy, finicky, magical talking cat, Archie. Except now, instead of roaming Globe's streets and alleys on four feet. he's kicking up two very human heels at a ballroom dance competition with his fiancΓ©e, Victoria.
Selena couldn't be happier for her formerly furry friend. Stepping Stars could be the gateway to Archie's unfulfilled dreams. But when a competitor is found dead in Archie's costume trunk -- sporting some very strange wounds -- the future he's longed for is threatened...because witnesses saw him claws-out with the victim just hours earlier.
Though the evidence is flimsy at best, Selena goes straight to her divination tools to look for clues. Her Tarot cards and pendulum seem to point nowhere, but she's sure of one thing. Her instincts never lie -- and the killer could be using glitz, glamour, and bright lights to cover his tracks.
