Spring has come to the faded seaside town of Seatoun. Easter is approaching, and the weather is mild, leading to a mini-boom in the tourist industry. Vetch's Investigations is buzzing with clients, and even Jan, the receptionist from hell, is busy--all of which is making Grace Smith feel depressed, since she's the only one without a client. The situation has become so desperate that Grace has taken a job with the local Tourist Board. Dressed as the Easter Bunny, she's supposed to be promoting the town's "child friendly" image. Unfortunately, a series of encounters with kids who can't resist tormenting dumb creatures (albeit six-feet-tall ones) results in Grace being the first bunny to be nicked in Seatoun for Grievous Bodily Harm. So when a woman named Della comes calling, and informs Grace that her son is receiving threatening letters and that she wants someone to trace the sender, Grace eagerly accepts. She lives--only just--to regret it most bitterly...
