TAIL GAIT
Â
Spring has sprung in Crozet, Virginiaâ‚¬"a time for old friends to gather and bid farewell to the doldrums of winter. Harry and her husband, Fair, are enjoying a cozy dinner with some of the townâ‚¬s leading citizens, including beloved University of Virginia history professor Greg â‚¬Å“Gingerâ‚¬Â McConnell and several members of UVAâ‚¬s celebrated 1959 football team. But beneath the cloak of conviviality lurks a sinister specter from the distant past that threatens to put all their lives in jeopardy.
Â
When Professor McConnell is found murdered on the golf course the next dayâ‚¬"gunned down in broad daylight by an unseen killerâ‚¬"no one can fathom a motive, let alone find a suspect. Just as Harry and her furry cohorts begin nosing into the case, however, a homeless UVA alum confesses to the crime. Trouble is, no one believes that the besotted former All-American could have done the foul deedâ‚¬"especially after Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker make another gruesome discovery.
Â
As the questions surrounding Gingerâ‚¬s death pile up, Harryâ‚¬s search for answers takes her down the fascinating byways of Virginiaâ‚¬s Revolutionary past. The professor was something of a sleuth himself, it seems, and the centuries-old mystery he was unraveling may well have put a target on his back. As Harry edges closer to identifying an elusive killer, her animal companions sense dangerâ‚¬"and rally to find a way to keep Harry from disappearing into history.
