Cauley MacKinnon is starting over after a truly bad marriage and armed with a freshly minted journalism degree, Cauley is disappointed to find that the only job she can get in her hometown of Austin is as an obituary writer β something that only happens to interns whoβve been very good, or reporters whoβve been very bad. Somehow, Cauleyβs managed to do both. And of course, being the "Obituary Babe" wreaks havoc on her already disastrous social life.
While on the hunt for a story that will get her off the Death Page, Cauleyβs life takes a turn for the worse when hapless childhood friend, Scott Barnes, threatens suicide and barricades himself in a dilapidated old shed where he phones Cauley for help. Cauley manages to talk her friend out of the shotgun and the shed. But Cauley is soon devastated when she discovers Barnes dead at his computer with an empty bottle of bourbon and a computer-generated suicide note.
Soon, Cauley is up to her eyelashes in dead bodies and everyone wants to know what Barnes said in the shed β the last time anyone saw him alive...
