Statement of responsibility on cover: Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown.

"Spring may be about to bloom in Virginia, but Harry is thinking about snow. Her friend Ned Tucker is in the House of Delegates, advocating for a bill to improve road clearing during bad weather. Tensions are high between political parties, and no one can agree on anything. But the statehouse is rocked when one of the young pages who assists the delegates dies under mysterious circumstances. Could his death be related to the political infighting? Or is something even more sinister threatening the lives of Virginia's finest representatives? Harry is determined to find the answers and restore order once more to the Capitol."--,Provided by publisher.
