Mimi's Paris Dilemma
by Elizabeth Cooke
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Mimi’s
Paris dilemma overwhelms her. She feels desolate, unappreciated, her celebrity
status lost. The Parisiennes, the women of Paris, have turned against her. They
are sympathique to the fate of a woman incarcerated for murder and reject Mimi,
who was instrumental in bringing about that fate.
In this, Book Two of
The Mimi Series, new crimes are committed. Mimi again is instrumental in
helping solve them because of her sensitive petit nez, which pursues nasal
clues where no human can follow.
Where few are aware
of how truly skillful the little dog is, they slowly come to realize her value,
and Mimi’s reputation is gradually restored to its full power.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
“Different indeed,” Nicole exclaimed. “More like unique.
Imagine having a dog as co-anchor on an interview show like
the popular TONIGHT!”
“Unique, eh?” Rene countered.
“I can’t wait,” Nicole enthused. “But let us start after the
fate of Stephan Ledax is decided and the trial done.”

Three weeks went by before Nicole Marcel and Mimi became
full-time co-anchors on the TONIGHT TV interview show. They waited to take up
their duties until the trial of Stephan Ledax was over.
Nicole testified before the court, as did Rene Couteau, to
the attempted rape in the changing room of the studio. The verdict was
unanimous: guilty of sexual assault.
During the course of the proceedings, there was testimony
from six other women, relating to the pattern of behavior Stephan Ledax evinced
over the period of several years -
involving a variety of predatory
acts – some even cruel: abandonment, abortion, lack of child support.
Stephan Ledax was sentenced to eight years behind bars. As
he was led away by a policewoman, his face was distorted and wet with tears.

And so it came to pass.
