Winter is hard in Beauville, where the melting snow can
reveal much more than last season’s dead leaves. So when a
wealthy, obnoxious tourist and his ski bunny girlfriend
surface in Pru Marlowe’s little Berkshire town, she knows
she should stay out of their way. The bad-girl animal
psychic has to focus on more immediate concerns, including a
wild rabbit named Henry, supposedly tamed and illegally
living with an eighty-four-year-old lady in her home. Henry,
who seems to be acting out and hiding, avoids responding to Pru.
Yet when Pru discovers the tourist murdered and his
girlfriend’s high-maintenance spaniel falls to her care, she
gets dragged into a complicated case of crime and punishment
that involves some new friends, an old nemesis, and her own
shadowed past. A recent museum art heist draws the feds into
the investigation along with a courtly gentleman radiating
menace, who represents secretive business interests in New
York and shows a surprising awareness of Pru. Her on-again,
off-again romance with police Detective Creighton doesn’t
stop him from warning her to steer clear of the inquiry. The
spaniel, however, lures her in.
Pru lives in a world where only her crotchety tabby Wallis
knows the whole truth about her past, her flight from
Manhattan, and her unique gift that surfaced abruptly one
day. Fearing the worst, Pru now comes dangerously close to
being exposed. With everything in motion, Pru, Wallis, and
everyone they hold dear will be lucky to escape…by a hare.
