Chutes And Adders: A Robin

Recently widowed Robin Light runs Noah''s Ark, a Syracuse pet shop specializing in puppies and parakeets, bunnies and boas. Robin can''t resist rescuing a stray kitten--or finding the vicious killer who set her up to take the rap. . .for murder.
Deadly Venom
The package looked innocent enough. . .until it was opened and the rare, saw-backed viper attacked. By the time Robin got her co-worker to the hospital, he was dead, the cops had unearthed a small fortune in her shop''s heating vent, and she''s been fingered as the prime suspect in a particularly nasty murder case.
Now, as Robin struggles to clear her name and to keep Noah''s Ark afloat, she finds herself following a trail strewn with corpses. . .straying far from her pampered pets and into a den of venomous secrets where someone stalks her with the cold-blooded skill of a cobra. . .someone coiled and ready to strike.
