Synopsis

"Ramsay skillfully blends wry humor, witty dialogue, and engaging characters with a dark plot that tackles some of society's most unsolvable and tragic faults."--Kings River Life Magazine

Ethyl Smut, everyone agreed, deserved to die. But even a life wasted deserves justice. When a second body is unearthed in Ethyl's shallow grave and the nightmarish George LeBrun finds his way to Ike's desk, things get messy fast.

Then there is Ethyl's missing daughter, Darla, who could testify against some important people if she were found. And as if Ike hadn't enough on his plate, former CIA co-workers Karl Hedrick and Sam arrive to investigate the source of the second body. It's like old home week in Picketsville.

Finally, there is the ongoing saga of Ike and Ruth's engagement that must be settled one way or another. Can Ike solve these cases before his altar date?
