Description

Odelia Grey’s relaxing day of errands is ruined when she finds a body folded like an origami crane in the trunk of her car. And it’s not just any dead body—it’s the corpse of Zach Finch, a young man who had been kidnapped eight years earlier. But why was he put in Odelia’s car? Where has Zach been all these years?

With her name at the top of the suspect list, Odelia and her husband, Greg, are determined to find answers. They’ll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth, even if they have to give the slip to an arrogant FBI agent and delve into the dangerous world of contract killers.

Praise:

“Offbeat . . . the suspenseful climax offers some unexpected turns for everyone.”—Publishers Weekly

"Fans of G. A. McKevett’s Savannah Reid mysteries will enjoy this witty series with its quirky, well-drawn characters."—Booklist

        September 28, 2015
        Odelia Grey’s moniker as “corpse magnet” continues to hold true in Jaffarian’s offbeat 10th mystery to feature the plus-size paralegal (after 2014’s Hell on Wheels). Odelia is nonplussed when car wash employees in Long Beach, Calif., find a naked body with a taunting note in the trunk of her car. The victim turns out to be Zak Finch, the target of a kidnapping eight years before. As the police are disinclined to believe Odelia’s protestations of ignorance about the man or the murder, she begins to look at the circumstances around Zak’s disappearance and the troubled dynamics of his family and associates. Soon another corpse appears, as well as a spindly intruder intent on making a media splash at Odelia’s expense. She begins to fear that someone she knows may be involved with the case. Although established fans are the best audience for this outing, the suspenseful climax offers some unexpected turns for everyone. Agent: Whitney Lee, Fielding Agency.
