By doing so, the Plot Hound Bookshop Ladies find themselves in the killer's crosshairs. FOOTHILLS FOUL PLAY, a Plot Hound Bookshop murder mystery, is set in the foothills of the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains.

Few men reckoned on staying up in the Cypress Hills unless they needed a hide-out real bad. So when Blue Pete heard one night a wolf's cry from the hills that no wolf had throated, he figured he'd go on up and see who was hollering and why. And that started Pete on the trigger-taut tracking of the toughest and strangest bunch of bank-busters that had menaced Medicine Hat for quite a while. But Pete discovered too much, and the man who did that in the Cypress Hills usually lasted about as long as a stockyard steer. Another grand, action-paced yarn of the ever popular Blue Pete.
