Book Description
================
In this fast-paced mystery by Rita Mae Brown and her feline coauthor, Sneaky Pie Brown, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and
her animal friends seek to solve a whodunit rooted in 18th-century Virginia - uncovering a shocking secret that refuses
to stay buried.
At any moment a perfect summer day in Crozet, Virginia - nestled within the Blue Ridge Mountains - might turn stormy and
tempestuous, as Harry knows too well when a squall suddenly sweeps in. In a blink Harry's pickup nearly collides with a
careening red car that then swerves into a ditch. Harry recognizes the dead driver slumped over the vehicle's steering
wheel: Barbara Leader was nurse and confidante to former Virginia governor Sam Holloway.
Though Barbara's death is ruled a heart attack, dissenting opinions abound. After all, she was the picture of health,
which gives Harry and her four-legged companions pause. A baffling break-in at a local business leads Harry to further
suspect that a person with malevolent intent lurks just out of sight: Something evil is afoot.
As it happens, Barbara died in the shadow of the local cemetery's statue of the Avenging Angel. Just below that imposing
funereal monument lie the remains of one Francisco Selisse, brutally murdered in 1784. Harry's present-day sleuthing
draws her back to Virginia's slave-holding past and the hunt for Selisse's killer. Now it's up to Harry and her furry
detectives - Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tucker - to expose the bitter truth, even if it means staring into the
unforgiving eyes of history and cornering a callous killer poised to pounce.
