As part-owner of Sewell and Sons Funeral Home, life for Hitchcock Sewell is pretty good, even if death is more lucrative. But he's surprised when Carolyn James walks into his mortuary and asks him to arrange a very special funeral service - her own!
Hitchcock may be an undertaker by trade, but he's always seen himself as something of an amateur detective. He's intrigued enough to want to track down this beautiful stranger. He doesn't have to look very far. The next day Carolyn James is waiting for him when he gets to work - on a slab. Only this Carolyn he has never set eyes on before.
Hitchcock senses a mystery and - like his ex-wife - that's one thing he can never resist . . .
