description: It isn’t “happy trails” when 40-something Elsie MacBean - Beanie to her friends who’ve tasted her volcanic vegetarian chili - and her basset hound, Cruiser, discover the remains of Tallis Corporation’s CEO Chick Robson on a hiking trail near Cave Rock. Cave Rock, sacred ground to the Washoe Indians, is the proposed construction site for fabulous Cave Rock Resort and Casino, which promises to boost South Lake Tahoe’s sagging economy. When Washoe tribal leaders Dan Silvernail and Sonseah Little Feather stage a protest to save Cave Rock and take a stand against Tallis, half-Washoe Beanie is caught between a rock and a hard place. Meanwhile, Tallis' ranks dwindle as the body count rises. When mayor-wannabe Sheriff Stoddard puts Deputy Skip Cassidy under the gun to collar a suspect or lose his job, Skip enlists the help of Tahoe Times stringer Beanie and Scoop Doggy Dog Cruiser to sniff out the perp. But baffling crime scene evidence and Beanie’s chilling sightings of a spectral creature leave everyone mystified as to the killer's identity. Finally, it's up to Beanie and her trusty bow-wow to hold their own powwow and corner the murderer before Tahoe goes completely to the dogs.
