A coroner becomes a sleuth when an innocent friend is accused of murder in this hardboiled mystery by the USA Today-bestselling author of Dead Even.

When Deputy Coroner Mattie Winston and her boss/best friend, Izzy, are called to the home of waitress and part-time model Shannon Tolliver, they find the ghoulish Halloween decorations a bit too authentic. Among the fake blood and skeletons is the corpse of Shannon herself. Since the whole town knows Shannon recently had a very public spat with her estranged husband, Erik, he's suspect #1. But Mattie happens to know Erik truly loved his wife, and is simply incapable of the brutal act -- even if he owns the exact same caliber handgun as the murder weapon...

Determined to unearth the truth, Mattie puts her scalpel-sharp medical skills to work, and digs a little deeper. What she uncovers is stranger than anyone could have imagined...

"Ryan shows growing skill at mixing humor with CSI-style crime." -- Publishers Weekly

"The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers... while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans." -- Booklist
