  Mary Minor “Harry” Harristeen is on the hunt for a killer with a deadly green thumb when a day in 
  the garden turns fatal in this exciting new mystery from Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky 
  Pie Brown. 
   
  Spring arrives in northern Virginia, and as the ground thaws and the peonies begin to bloom a bright magenta, 
  the women of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church prepare for a Homecoming celebration like no other. Harry, Susan Tucker, 
  and their friends are busy planting flowers and trimming hedges to get the church grounds in shape for the big day. 
   
  But a note of a menace mars the beautiful spring: The brewery owned by Janice Childs and Mags Nielsen, two 
  members of the gardening committee, gets robbed, with hundreds of dollars in merchandise taken off their delivery 
  trucks in the dead of night. Is this the work of a random thief? Or is something more sinister afoot? 
   
  When Jeannie Cordle drops dead at a charity auction, poisoned by a fatal weed, Harry’s worst suspicions are 
  confirmed: a killer lurks in their midst, one with a keen understanding of poisonous plants. Although she can’t yet 
  prove it, Harry knows the murder is related to the thefts at Bottom’s Up Brewery. 
   
  With help from her feline sidekicks, Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, as well as Tee Tucker the corgi and sweet puppy 
  Pirate, Harry sets out to find the weed in St. Luke’s garden—and stop a killer before they can strike again.

  A Killing for Christ 50th...

  Rome. Holy Thursday. A limousine carrying two pilgrims speeds toward the city. Rail, an American publisher, an obese voluptuary, perspires in the heat and shivers with the icy premonition of death. His companion, Harwell, is running a cold fever of bigotry and violence, self-indulgence and sadism: he is an American Nazi. The two must separate soon, must not be seen together, for they are to be the instruments of a public murder. 
  Rail meets Father Malloy, who is to show him around the city. Malloy had been a chaplain in Vietnam, and he had seen too many people die. He is not aware of the murder Rail carries with him. This is to be a murder of world-shaking consequence. It is a plot on a grand scale, conceived by men of secret power: a sin-crazed, aging cardinal and a powerful Italian count. For them, Rail and Harwell are only acolytes in a monstrous ceremony; Malloy, awash in doubts about himself and his religious faith, is drawn into the drama. 
  In A Killing for Christ, Pete Hamill steps behind the public face of the modern Church and sees the dark grottoes within. He examines the hidden hearts of priests and prostitutes, the tortured windings of perverted thinking, the orgies of the bored and the bitter. Within the passage of the four days most holy to the Church, he traces the malignant progress of a blasphemous conspiracy to the taut moment of its ultimate act and redeems from it a unique understanding of man and of faith.

  A beautiful client arrives with a tale of ghosts, kidnapping and dynamite on a whisky estate in Scotland, but brother Mycroft trumps all with an urgent assignment in the South of France. 
  On the fabled Riviera, Holmes and Watson encounter treachery, explosions, rival French Detective Jean Vidocq… and a terrible discovery. This propels the duo northward to the snowy highlands.
