Some Like It Hot

It's a week before Thanksgiving.  PI Cat DeLuca has tailed a client's husband and his lover to a Bridgeport pub where she snags the photos she needs to tie the finishing bow on another case.

Cat sips her beer and is thinking about lunch when a man dressed as Santa Claus walks into the bar. He speaks briefly with the bartender and disappears behind doors designated Employees Only. 
Ten minutes later there's a commotion and Santa charges out.  Santa's eyes meet Cat's and flash recognition.   The man in the Santa suit is BillBonham, class clown from Cat's days at Bridgeport High School.  ­­­­Garret shoots a goofy grin and tweeks a thumb/pinky to his ear.  Call me.

Bill (AKA Santa) was working a case when chased from the pub.  His client is Lynn Leigh, a former bartender at O'Dwyer's Pub.  Lynn left her job (and town) abruptly ten years ago after witnessing a murder.
 Soon Cat is involved in this investigation and calling on her past cases to get to the bottom of a case that leaves her wondering whether she likes the heat or should just get out of the kitchen.
