The penultimate piece of the Rabbit series takes place in the autumn-winter of 1999, in the shadow of the new millennium. Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom has been dead for ten years. In Hare's Tail, countless threads of the novel flow are woven together, the family members look back at Harry's memory while still searching for their own happiness.

"Rabbit's" widow, Janice, married Ronnie Harrison - the widow of Thelma, with whom Harry had a long affair. "Rabbit's" son, Nelson, was abandoned by his wife, Pru. Nelson is off cocaine and lives at home with Janice and Ronnie as an adult.

The past unexpectedly shows up in the form of Harry's illegitimate daughter, whom no one knew until now. Remembering Harry, the Thanksgiving dinner is filled with tension, turns into quarrels and bitter recriminations, and then the past comes to life, the day of Harry's cremation, when the urn containing the remains of the "Rabbit" was accidentally left in a hotel closet.
