It's no secret that cats are a mystery writer's best friend. Just
ask the bestselling team of Rita Mae Brown and her furry partner,
Sneaky Pie Brown, back on the prowl with another unforgettable
whodunit. This time a controversial miracle in Virginia's Blue
Ridge Mountains sparks religious fervor-and a suspicious death. Now
the indefatigable felines Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, along with the
dogged corgi Tee Tucker, must trust their animal instincts to sniff
out the worst of human nature....
With the holidays approaching, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and her
best friend, Susan Tucker, take a much-needed time-out at the
mountain monastery of Mount Carmel. There, under the benevolent
gaze of the statue of the Virgin Mary, their worldly worries are
soon overshadowed. For in front of their very eyes the statue
begins to cry tears of blood.
Legend has it that Mary's crimson tears are harbingers of crises.
And though skeptical, the ever-practical Harry can already see one
on the horizon. If leaked, news of the so-called miracle could turn
the monastery and the town of Crozet into a circus. What Harry
doesn't foresee is murder....
When Susan's great-uncle Thomas, a resident monk, is found frozen
to death at the base of the statue, foul play is ruled out-at
first. But at Harry's urging, the body is exhumed for an autopsy.
There's just one problem: the coffin is empty. That's when Mrs.
Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker get involved. Then there's the shocking
revelation of a mystery that has perplexed the citizens of Crozet
for ages.
With Christmas around the corner and the monastery overrun by the
faithful, all Harry's meddling menagerie can do is stay on her
trail as she jumps knee-deep into an unofficial investigation-one
that becomes more dangerous when another Crozet citizen meets an
untimely demise. In this case it will be a miracle if Harry stays
alive....
