When winter hits Crozet, Virginia, it hits hard. That's nothing new to postmistress Mary Minor, "Harry" Haristeen and her friends, who keep warm with hard work, hot toddies, and rabid rooting for the University of Virginia's women's baskeball team. But postgame high spirits are laid low when contractor H. H. Donaldson drops dead in the parking lot. And soon word spreads that it wasn't a heart attack that did him in.

It just doesn't sit right with Harry that one of her fellow fans is a murderer. And as tiger cat Mrs. Murphy knows, things that don't sit right with Harry lead her to poke her not-very-sensitive human nose into dangerous places. To make sure their intrepid mom lands on her feet, the feisty feline and her furry cohorts Pewter and corgie Tee Tucker are about to have their paws full helping Harry uncover a killer with no sense of fair play...
