Martinsville, Georgia has always been a sleepy little town, where nothing much ever happens, except a few murders... There''s a firebug in Martinsville.

But when it''s her beloved garden shed that goes up in flames, the fur begins to fly.Biscuit''s feline companion Marmalade comments frequently, ...Yes, I do. ... (even though her humans think she''s only purring ...Mouse droppings! ... or sneezing). She''s as baffled by all this as her humans.We could have some tuna. That would solve a lot. Distracted by a visit from Peachie, an old college friend, Biscuit pays only scant attention to a third fire, but it''s hard to ignore the dead body found in the charred remains of Connie Cartwright''s studio, where glass-blowing may have turned into homicide.

When a set of 200-year-old diaries are found in the bottom of a trunk, the mysterious history of Martinsville - all of it based on a lie - begins to come to life!
