Artist and cosmetic purveyor Marketta Davis faces a daunting task: join the faculty of an elite prep school and avenge the brutal murder of Aunt Violet's protégé, a teacher and social justice warrior. Soon a clever killer stalks the corridors of this venerable institution imperiling the lives of students, faculty and one upstart sleuth named Marky Davis.

Leathersmith Persephone ?Perri? Morgan makes the kind of beautiful custom leashes and saddles that make wealthy dog and horse show lovers swoon?until murder strides onto the course . . . When Perri's BFF Babette hosts a meeting of Fairfax County's affluent animal lovers to save a local horse rescue farm, the agenda gets sidetracked by the discovery of a corpse in the master bedroom. Everyone present is a suspect, including Perri's main squeeze, Wing Pruett?Washington, DC's sexiest reporter. While Perri scours local horse and dog shows hoping to unmask the killer, she uncovers bad manners, infidelity, and low-level crime in her hunt for the killer?but what she can't find are grounds for murder. When the killer strikes again and she gets a warning to stop her sleuthing, Perri has to muster all her training?and all her allies, human and animal alike?to make it out of the ring alive.
