Faberville bookstore owner Claire Malloy is
ruminating over the state of her love life when she gets
disturbing news. Elderly Miss Emily Parchester is up a
tree. Chained to an old oak, packing a thermos of tea and
a gun, the retired schoolteacher is ready to go down with
the ship, or rather the tree, before she'll let another
historic piece of Farberville be bulldozed in the name
of "progress," i.e., developer Anthony Armstrong's
condominiums.
With Miss Parchester armed, and
therefore dangerous, Claire fears this noble act will end
tragically. Unfortunately, it does-when someone murders
Armstrong. And suddenly Claire herself is out on a limb: a
baby has been left on her doorstep, the child's teenage
mom is suspect number one in Armstrong's death, and Claire
needs to find the real killer fast. Especially when she
discovers Miss Parchester knows more than she's willing to
tell....
