WHO BETTER THAN A PET DETECTIVE TO EXPOSE A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING?

All the clues lead to an exclusive private school in Long Island's high-toned Bromptons, where snobby socialites and a smattering of locals on scholarship take classes in African drumming and field trips to Europe.

And just when Jess thinks she's about to herd in the killer, she realizes she's being led like a lamb to slaughterhellip;.
