Black Cats: Lucky or Unlucky? - Wilizy, #22

The main focus of Book #22 is on the three remaining members of the Denver Cattlemen's Association, Paup, Krakul and Schnappe. Governor Stookenhap owed them for their legal attack on him and Sheila, so he would provide a legal response that would take away their ability to be dominant in the cattle industry. In effect, he would take away their power. The Wilizy would take away their money. Some might call it stealing, but it wasn't. The three ranchers willingly gave their money to the company known as Colorado Mining Development Inc. Melissa was the strategist with Mac as battle commander. The Valkyries provide the sex appeal. Jilly was particularly effective in her Operation Reveal. When the cattlemen's money was safely deposited elsewhere, Molly Moonblossom (Winnie) wrote a column that revealed to the people of Colorado how they had been conned. This drove Paup and Krakul out of the state. Schnappe was driven to take his anger out on Stook and Sheila.

A second story line will introduce you to two people who existed on the fringes of polite society, which ignored them as much as possible. They met when Schnappe tried to murder the woman. The man nursed her back to life. Fearing that Schnappe would try again, they hid behind unusual nicknames. She was Fido the Dog. He was Boris, the Purple Gnome. They were just two people who had suffered pain and had managed to establish a mutual, non-sexual friendship. That lasted until Schnappe tried to kill Boris. You may have noticed that Schnappe appeared twice in their lives. A black cat appeared at the same time.
