<DIV><B>When a Hollywood cartoonist is poisoned, sharp-witted sleuth Miss Withers must draw her own conclusions. &ldquo;[Miss Withers is]&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. still one of the best&rdquo; (Anthony Boucher).</B></DIV><DIV><BR /> At Hollywood&rsquo;s most renowned cartoon studio, there are a few things you simply do not draw: snakes, cows with udders, violence, and death. So when Janet Poole finds a doodle of the studio&rsquo;s famous cartoon penguin with a noose around its neck, she takes the drawing as a threat. Someone at the studio has murder on the mind.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>The top brass reach out to Hildegarde Withers, a retired amateur sleuth who has come to Los Angeles to relieve her asthma. The obvious suspect is Larry Reed, a disturbed cartoonist with a dark sense of mischief, but on Miss Withers&rsquo;s first day working the case, something happens that suggests Larry is likely innocent: He&rsquo;s murdered. This studio may work in animation, but Miss Withers will find the violence on the lot anything but cartoonish.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV><I>Cold Poison</I> is part of the Hildegarde Withers Mysteries series, which also includes <I>The Penguin Pool Murder </I>and <I>Murder on the Blackboard</I>.</DIV>
