Rita Mae Brown collaborates with feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown
in a new mystery starring Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, the curious
cat detectives Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker, the valiant
crime-solving corgi. Halloween arrives early this year to rural
central Virginia, when a twisted killer will stop at nothing to
protect a multimillion-dollar scheme.
THE LITTER OF THE LAW
Autumn has descended and crops are being harvested all over
Crozet, Virginia, ideal conditions for a scenic drive for Harry and
husband Fair. Bucolic views are all well and good, but Harry's nose
for trouble leads her straight to a cornfield's macabre
scarecrow--an all too real murder victim that frightens all but the
noisy crows.
This accountant's gruesome death is only the first of many
disturbing events in this normally pastoral corner of the world.
While Harry tends her beloved grapes and sunflowers, a killer edges
closer--as does Harry's protective menagerie of animals.
Halloween's approach brings with it bona fide terror and a beloved
local tradition that threatens to become fatal. Rooting out the
guilty in the treacherous center of a lucrative conspiracy requires
Harry's farmer's wisdom--along with the quick wits and
extraordinary senses of Sneaky Pie, Pewter, and Tucker. A vicious
murderer may know the lay of the land far better than Harry does,
but that's about to change. It's up to her vigilant four-footed
companions to make sure that the unearthing of this plot is not
Harry's last act.
