Their enemies are organizing around a leader, and growing much more violent. To have any chance of defeating them, Jared must bring together the psi talents of all his friends and family, including members of all four Alliance species and people from three extra-dimensional races, two entities in robotic bodies, and one in the body of the most ferocious predator on the planet. And in his spare time, he must deal with his wife's grandfather, who has an evil temper and ambitions of his own, and he promised to teach his neighbor's daughter to drive. What could be easier?

The layered plot of the latest in the excellent Jenny Cain series (SAY NO TO MURDER) finds the Port Frederick, Mass., sleuth probing the cause of her recently deceased mother's insanity. Cain discovers that her mother's mental collapse many years before coincided with the bankruptcy of the family business. The closing of Cain Clams created considerable unemployment locally and countless enemies for the Cains--one such foe may now be trying to prevent the amateur detective from delving further into her family's past and the town's secrets. As she tracks down public mysteries, Cain unearths painful personal issues; an attempt on her life, construed as an effort at suicide, forces her to deal with the legacy of her mother's madness. Pickard masterfully resolves both plot lines in this affecting, provocative novel centering around the mystery at the heart of mother-daughter relationships.

He hasn't been able to hunt, either, so it's strange when he brings home a hunting dog, a beagle named Bullet. But Bullet is only the first odd thing that happens to Ellie the year she's eleven.
