Genna Colt’s plans to introduce her Uncle Kevin Andrews, a Richmond homicide detective, to the excitement of the weekend dog shows at Jamestown seems jinxed. Her three weekend guests are accompanied by three additional dogs. The rescue papillon she’s fostering delivers a puppy with a birth defect that requires hand feeding every two hours. She’s already frantic and sleep deprived by the morning of the first show, but neither she nor her Uncle Kevin expect murder to intrude. When an exhibitor is killed in the show ring the killer seems to think Genna might have seen something that would be a threat. Andrews and Genna are drawn into the homicide as Andrews struggles to protect both Genna and her papillon Sky from the killer’s determined efforts to add them to his list of victims.
