Veterinarian Dr. Lila Hart thought her biggest challenge this week would be convincing a basset hound to take his medication without dropping it down her shirt again.

Then a muddy, wide-eyed stray cat limps onto her porch the same morning a journalist turns up dead by the river.

Now Lila’s clinic suddenly has more drama than a waiting room full of unneutered tomcats.

Her only leads? A traumatized cat who behaves like he’s witnessed a full-on crime scene…And Captain Peppers, the town’s resident gossip parrot, who keeps blurting: ‘He knew about the tunnels!’

With Milo the stray acting like a four-pawed GPS to trouble, Lila follows the trails—paw prints, mud samples, and suspicious human behavior—straight into Wisteria’s hidden tunnels. Someone wanted the truth to stay hidden, but now, Lila is getting too close.

Good thing she’s got quick reflexes, a stubborn streak, and one very snarky parrot on her side.
