In a blink, Harry s pickup nearly collides with a careening red car that then swerves into a ditch. Harry recognizes the dead driver slumped over the vehicle s steering wheel: Barbara Leader was nurse and confidante to former Virginia governor Sam Holloway.\u003cbr\u003e\nThough Barbara s death is ruled a heart attack, dissenting opinions abound. After all, she was the picture of health, which gives Harry and her four-legged companions pause. A baffling break-in at a local business leads Harry to further suspect that a person with malevolent intent lurks just out of sight: Something evil is afoot.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs it happens, Barbara died in the shadow of the local cemetery s statue of the Avenging Angel. Just below that imposing funereal monument lie the remains of one Francisco Selisse, brutally murdered in 1784. Harry s present-day sleuthing draws her back to Virginia s slave-holding past and the hunt for Selisse s killer. Now it s up to Harry and her furry detectives Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tucker to expose the bitter truth, even if it means staring into the unforgiving eyes of history and cornering a callous killer poised to pounce.\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for the Mrs. Murphy mysteries\u003cbr\u003e\nAs feline collaborators go, you couldn t ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown. \" The New York Times Book Review\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bantam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977333641382,"sku":"9780553392463","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9780553392463_1.jpg?v=1656102028","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/tall-tail-9780553392463","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
