Probable Claws: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Probable Claws: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown return to Albemarle County, Virgina, as tangled mysteries past and present converge in the bestselling Mrs. Murphy series.
Â
â€œAs feline collaborators go, you couldnâ€™t ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review
Â
With the New Year just around the corner, winter has transformed the cozy Blue Ridge Mountain community of Crozet, Virginia, into a living snow globe. Itâ€™s the perfect setting for Mary Minor â€œHarryâ€ Haristeen to build a new work shed designed by her dear friend, local architect Gary Gardner. But the natural serenity is shattered when out of the blue, right in front of Harry and Deputy Cynthia Cooper, and in broad daylight, Gary is shot to death by a masked motorcyclist.
Â
Outraged by the brazen murder, Harry begins to burrow into her friendâ€™s pastâ€”and unearths a pattern of destructive greed reaching far back into Virginiaâ€™s post-Revolutionary history. When Harry finds incriminating evidence, the killer strikes again.
Â
Heedless of her own safety, Harry follows a trail of clues to a construction site in Richmond, where the discovery of mysterious remains has recently halted work. Aided as always by her loyal, if opinionated, companions, crime-solving cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker the Corgi, Harry hunts for a link between the decades-old dead, the recently violently deceasedâ€”and ancient secrets that underlie everything. And while other deaths are narrowly averted in a flurry of fur, the killer remains at largeâ€”ever more desperate and dangerous. The deep-rooted legacy of corruption thatâ€™s been exposed can never be buried again. But if Harry keeps pursuing the terrible truth, she may be digging her own grave.
