Danger has returned to Shady Hollow. Ace reporter Vera Vixen only wants a good news story as harvest time arrives with the promise of glorious feasts ahead.

But the discovery of the body casts a darker shadow.

Soon enough, the coffeeshop's owner is being dragged down to the police station.

Vera can't believe gentle Joe the moose is a killer.

To get to the bottom of the matter, she will have to dig into the secrets her neighbours would rather leave buried forever . . . Entertaining and perceptive, Cold Clay is fast-paced and witty, with characters that jump off the page and a hugely satisfying mystery to solve.
