Well, folks, after much soul searching (and bugging of friends, relatives, and total strangers), I am happy to announce the working title of Theda Krakow mystery #4: PROBABLE CLAWS.
This title, suggested independently by both Phil Mann and Rob Chalfen though what became an avalanche of emails (and a lot of fun) has narrowly beaten out THE SOUND AND THE FURRY, HISS OF DEATH, and BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG KITTY. All of which make me smile.
Of course, titles are really up to my publisher, but I'm going to lobby for PROBABLE CLAWS. And at least I have something to put on my ongoing work-in-progress besides "Theda4."
If all goes according to plan, look for the new Theda in early spring, '09. And now, back to work.

I *love* PROBABLE CLAWS! That's a great title because it says so much: it invites the idea of injustice, yet hints at feline presence. Well done!
Thank you, Linda! Or perhaps I should say, thanks to Phil and Rob.
What a great title! I am looking forward to your next book and trying to be patient, but it isn't easy.
Thank you, LF! I actually have a non-Theda manuscript completed and making the rounds (Caroline Leavitt blogged about it, bless her, on http://carolineleavittville.blogspot.com/ . But that's not a sure thing, and I'm thoroughly enjoying "Probable Claws," which my publisher expects by spring!
oh - Caroline's been busy! But if you're curious, skim down to her Jan. 21 blog about my non-Theda book, "Shades of Grey."
