AN EDGAR AWARD AND AGATHA AWARD NOMINEE • With plenty of plot twists and dry wit, this darkly comedic, modern take on the classic detective genre will keep you guessing until the last page.
“A throw-back style detective novel that readers of all stripes should pay attention to.”—Los Angeles Times
“Fast-paced and full of red herrings.”—New York Post

When the mystery starts in the morgue, things are bound to get interesting.
Christopher just needed a job to kill time the summer after graduation. He didn’t expect to stumble across a murder cover-up when he was hired as a janitor at the morgue. As an aspiring spy he can’t help but dig deeper into the mystery, but he’s smart enough to know he’s in over his head. With the sheriff as his prime suspect he turns to Tina, a gorgeous newspaper reporter, to help him get to the bottom of the case. Suddenly they find themselves in a full-blown investigation involving bribery, kidnappings, more murders . . . and his best friend.
