Publisher's Synopsis
When the town's leading mortician, Silence Hopgood, is found dead in a coffin not intended for her, and a woman never returns home from a solitary holiday, the McGill agency are hired to investigate both cases. Can a circus outstaying its usual seasonal booking by weeks possibly hold the key to both mysteries? Killers, clowns and coffins conspire to both baffle and threaten Misty and Nomi.
