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 —
something that only happens to interns who’ve been very
good, or reporters who’ve been very bad. Somehow, Cauley’s
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, Cauley’s 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 — the
last time anyone saw him alive...
