Harriet Bailey has just inherited her beloved grandfather's home and veterinary practice in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. But she's barely unpacked when one of her elderly clients, Meredith Bennett, is rushed to the hospital with a head injury. Harriet agrees to care for Meredith's springer spaniel, Huntley, while Meredith recovers. When Huntley makes a fuss in the yard behind the clinic, Harriet rushes to see what is wrong-and finds that he has unearthed the take from a forty-year-old jewel heist.
Harriet's late grandfather, Dr. Harold Bailey, becomes the main suspect in the theft, but Harriet refuses to believe that the well-regarded veterinarian and esteemed local artist burgled Ravenglen Manor. She must find the real culprit and restore the Bailey family's reputation. Can Harriet prove Grandad Harold's innocence and solve this decades-old cold case? More importantly, can she prove herself to her new community of White Church Bay?
