Pru Marlowe isn't your ordinary animal psychic. A tough girl
on the run from her own gift, Pru left the big city to
return to her picturesque Berkshires hometown looking for
a little peace. Too bad that her training as an animal
behaviorist got her mixed up with Lily, a rescue dog, and
Charles, her person. Now Charles is dead, and Lily looks
good for it. After all, Lily is a pitbull, a fighting-ring
dropout, and way too traumatized to give Pru a clear
picture of what she has witnessed. But Pru knows something
about bad girls trying to clean up, and, with a sense of
justice strong enough to overcome her dislike of human
society, she takes the case. Listening to the animals, Pru
picks up clues--and learns there are secrets in the pretty
little town that make murder look simple. Unable to tell
anybody about her psychic abilities, uncertain at times
about her own sanity, Pru comes to realize that if she
clears Lily, she’ll likely become the prime suspect--or
the next victim. While the only creature she can totally
trust is her crotchety tabby Wallis, Pru’s got to uncover
the real killer--and find a way to live with her
gift--before the real beasts in the town savage her and
those she has come to love. The first in the Pru Marlowe
“pet noir” series.
