Fans of the University of Virginia's women's basketball team rejoice! This particular Mrs. Murphy mystery spends a lot of time at the basketball stadium known as "The Clam." Local contractor H.H. Donaldson suddenly dies in the parking lot and what seems like a heart attack is actually murder, which was ingeniously carried out during a basketball game with the locals of Crozet, Virginia in attendance. This rankles postmistress Harry Haristeen and she sets off to solve the mystery. As more murders pile up, Harry's pets - tiger cat Mrs. Murphy, roly poly gray cat Pewter, and corgi Tee Tucker - realize that Harry is again sticking her neck in dangerous waters and they must pay special attention in order to save Harry. They know she can't not get involved and there will be hell to pay for her interference!
