✦ Synopsis

Parrots will repeat anything. They don�t talk sense. Or do they? When Pru Marlowe is called in to retrain a foul-mouthed African gray after its owner�s death, the bad-girl animal psychic can�t help hearing the bird�s words as a replay of a murder scene. But the doctor on call scoffs at the idea, and the heirs just want their late mother�s pet to quit cursing.

With the only other possible witnesses being an evasive aide, the blind neighbor, and a single-minded service dog, Pru is stuck with what may be a feather-brained theory. Even her crotchety tabby Wallis doesn�t buy it, although she�s more than willing to �interrogate� the big bird, as Pru deals with drugs, jealousy, and a potential rabies outbreak.
