As Kate awaited the imminent arrival of their modular house, Bill Salverson, a family friend who designs high-tech bombs for the army, was murdered. This casts a menacing air over the Christmas season. While Kate is searching for the reason behind the crime, her cousin Agnes receives a phone call threatening her life, which sends her into hiding, leaving Kate to watch over her precious greyhound bitches. Kate and Harry hunt down the man who threatened Agnes. Then Kate and her dogs receive a warning, too. She has 6 days to deliver what Salverson had, or they’ll all die. Surrounded by trucks, cranes, sections of house, and construction, Kate, Harry, and their team work to find what the dead man hid and keep the murderer from getting it. But though work on their house brings joy, danger increases, and the deadline draws near.
