7Leathersmith 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.
