With an audit going on at Bellehavenβs Public Library, it couldnβt be a worse time for librarian Helma Zukas to be serving a sentence of fifty hours of community serive. Mut Miss Zukas stubbornly refused to pay what she thought to be an unjust traffic fine and now sheβs doing time at the Promise Mission for Homeless Men β ladling soup and clearing tables for a motley group of ungrateful down-and- outers. When Helma discovers thereβs a rash of thefts going on at the mission, sheβs appalled. Add to that. The unannounced visit of a high school flame who intends to win her hand and Helmaβs ready to run to the auditors for relief.
But none of tat can compare to the shock when, during the first night of her service, a body is found just outside the missionβs back door. Suddenly in the wake of a heartless homicide, Helma becomes one of the suspects, and her fifty hours of service are looming like a life sentence. Fortunately for the otherwise law-abiding librarian, her gaudy, bawdy good friend Ruth is close at hand to help her solve the caseβ¦before she ends up doing hard time in a much worse place than the mission house.
