Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband's body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town. It's not the first time. She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognises the hunted look in a fugitive's eyes and offers her a place to stay. With dwindling choices, Tanya - now Amelia - accepts. An uneasy and dangerous alliance is born.

For the first time in Spellman history, Isabel Spellman might be the most normal member of her family. Mom has taken on an outrageous assortment of extracurricular activities. Dad has a secret. Her brother and sister are at war, but neither will reveal the source of the conflict. While domestic disturbances abound, there is one source of sanity in the Spellman household: Demetrius Merriweather, employee of the month for 18 months straight. Things aren't any simpler on the business side of Spellman Investigations....

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Lutz conspires with - or should we say against? - coauthor David Hayward to write an original and hilarious tag-team crime novel. Meet Paul and Lacey Hansen: orphaned, pot-growing twentysomething siblings eking out a living in rural Northern California. When a headless corpse appears on their property, they can't exactly dial 911, so they move the body and wait for the police to find it. Instead, the corpse reappears, a few days riper... and an amateur sleuth is born. Make that two.

En dag när Tanya Dubois kommer hem hittar hon sin man död - han har fallit i trappan - men av någon anledning väljer hon att inte ringa till polisen. I stället tar hon en rejäl whisky, svänger förbi sin älskare för en sista kärleksstund och inleder sin flykt. I Nebraska tar pengarna slut. Tanya ringer en Mr Oliver och kräver att han ska skicka 5 000 dollar och nya id-handlingar. Han gör det till slut men är samtidigt så hotfull att hon fruktar för sitt liv. Tanya färgar håret, ändrar frisyr, går upp i vikt och byter bil - allt för att inte bli upptäckt.
