Six Feet Under D B Borton

After a career fighting crime, six little words still have the power to strike fear in the heart of a retired cop: the sleep-over is at your house.



Once the jump-rope queen of Cincinnati, Rocky Zacharias is now an ex-convict with kids of her own and a dangerous secret. And she's disappeared, leaving behind a cryptic call for help.




The three kids have their own ideas about how to cope with the situation and run away to the Catatonia Arms, where retired juvenile officer Moses Fogg and detective-in-training Cat Caliban agree to house them temporarily. They join the crowd of four adults, three cats, and a beagle, exhausting and trying the patience of all, especially when they come down with measles. Meanwhile, their mother is nowhere to be found.




With Rocky and her kids in the path of a killer, Cat and Moses decide that the clue to Rocky's danger may be locked up behind the razor wire of the Women's Correctional Institution, so Cat goes inside to learn the truth before someone puts Rocky six feet under - and before Cat and Moses send Rocky's kids into Time Out and throw away the key.
