For Irish vet Dimpna Wilde, who has returned to run her familys practice after years away, home is a beautiful but complicated place-especially when it becomes the setting for a brutal murder . . .In Dimpna Wildes veterinary practice, an imminent meteor shower and the watch parties that are planned all over Dingle have taken over the usual gossip. But there are also matters nearer at hand to discuss-including the ragtag caravan of young people selling wares by the roadside and the shocking death of Chris Henderson, an elderly local, in a hit-and-run.Just hours before his death, Henderson had stormed into the garda station, complaining loudly about the caravans occupants causing noise and disruption. One of their members is Brigid Sweeney, a beautiful young woman who later turns up at Dimpnas practice, splattered in blood with an injured hare tucked into her jacket, claiming that a mysterious stranger has been trying to obtain a lucky rabbits foot.Matters worsen on the night of the meteor shower when Dimpna finds Brigids dead body tied to a tree, a rabbits foot tied to her severed left hand. The rabbits foot, the severed hand, the coinciding meteor shower-the deeper Dimpna and Detective Inspector Cormac OBrien investigate, the more ominous the signs seem to be, laced with a warning that Dimpna fears it will prove fatal to overlook.
