Gini Koch Author- ALIEN IN THE HOUSE

ALIEN IN THE HOUSE

by Gini Koch

“Koch is in a class by herself when it comes to delivering snort-out-loud humor!”- RT Book Reviews (To Pick)

Kitty Katt-Martini has learned the ins and outs of Washington politics, not to mention how to prevail in intergalactic war and foil any variety of dangerous conspiracies.  So when a newly elected Representative is murdered while at the Centaurion Embassy, it’s up to Kitty and the rest of the Diplomatic Corps to find out how and why and stop the killer, before the rest of the U.S. House of Representatives become casualties, particularly the replacement Representative … Jeff Martini.

“As someone who likes to get their history by plunging into a fictional story set in a real historical background … MURDER AT THE LEOPARD … FASCINATING … I look forward to the sequels.”- Frances McNamera, author of DEATH AT THE FAIR, DEATH AT HULL HOUSE, DEATH AT PULLMAN and DEATH AT WOODS HOLE.
