| Format: Mass Market Paperback, 384pp. ISBN: 0380812053 Publisher: Morrow,William & Co Pub. Date: August 2001 Edition Desc: 1 ED Ample-bodied, salty-tongued waitress Tory Bauer is no longer taking orders from anyone-now that she has become co-owner of the only cafe in tiny Delphi, South Dakota. And since corpses on the premises are bad for business, Tory is understandably peeved when a young Swedish member of a traveling international choral group keels over in one of the booths, leaving behind a suicide note that claims a sexual predator, the Reverend Clay Deibert, drove her to it. Now Tory knows Clay is the straightest of straight arrows-he's also Tory's cousin by marriage-and she suspects slutty Meg, the only Canadian in the chorus, is responsible for this mess in some way or another. But when a dead body winds up stuffed into Clay's closet, Tory realizes that clearing the reverend might be tougher than finding a sarong in Saskatchewan. Like the Mounties, however, Tory's determined to get her man (or woman)-unless the murdering he (or she) gets Tory first. |
