As a single mom and deputy coroner of Sorenson, Wisconsin,
Mattie Winston is used to her life being a juggling act.
But now that she’s moved in with Detective Steve Hurley
and his teenaged daughter, and has started planning their
wedding, her home life is looking more like a three-ring
circus. At least her workload at the Medical Examiner’s
office is lightened by the new hire Hal Dawson. But before
Hal can even cash his first paycheck, he’s murdered on a
fishing trip with his girlfriend, who’s gone missing. To
keep her life from going completely under, Mattie will
have to dive deep for clues. But a killer is just as
determined to keep the truth from ever surfacing…
