HONEY WEST & T.H.E. CAT

Win Scott Eckert and Matthew Baugh have written a new Honey West/T.H.E. CAT novel for Moonstone! Following on the heels of the first ever Honey West & T.H.E Cat crossover comic, Moonstone's Death in the Desert, comes the Honey West & T.H.E Cat novel, A Girl and Her Cat. Based on the continuity of the Honey West novels and TV show (1965-1966) and the series T.H.E. CAT (1966-1967), Eckert and Baugh are bringing these classic mystery/thriller heroes together for a new generation. The cover design below is by Doug Klauba.


From the press release: When an exotic green-eyed Asian doctor hires Honey to recover a stolen sample of a new Rubella vaccine from a rival scientist, the blonde bombshell private eye—suspicious but bored—takes the case. But after she’s attacked not once, but twice, on her way from Long Beach to San Francisco to track down her quarry, she knows there’s more—much more—to her femme fatale client than meets the eye.


Along the way, Honey’s one-time paramour Johnny Doom—ex-bounty hunter and current Company agent—reenters the picture, and the gorgeous doctor’s insidious—and deadly—grandfather deals himself in. But when Honey questions whether Johnny’s playing her game, or just playing her for a patsy, she joins forces—as only Honey can—with the one man in Frisco who can help her recover the stolen vaccine-cum-bioweapon and prevent worldwide genocide by germ-warfare—former cat burglar-turned-bodyguard Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat: T.H.E Cat! 


Join writers Win Scott Eckert and Matthew Baugh, and cover artist Douglas Klauba, for A Girl and Her Cat, a groovy, racy 1960s romp coming soon from Moonstone!
