In Peaceful Repose Cemetery there's one corpse too many . . .
Drew Slocombe has just discovered that the body of a woman has been occupying Peaceful Repose Cemetery for months before he opened it for business. The police don't seem concerned and assume that she was a vagrant. But Drew isn't convinced; even if she died a natural death, someone had to have buried her.
The mystery deepens when Genevieve Slater turns up at his door. Drew is attracted to Genevieve - but it's his amateur detective work that she's interested in. Refusing to contact the police, she wants to hire Drew to prove that the body is that of her missing mother. And although helping her might land Drew into trouble with the law, for a man looking to escape both money and marriage problems, Genevieve proves impossible to resist . . .
