Beddoes is peering at a book, scribbling notes on what seems to be a scrap of the morning paper, but he straightens at the creak of the floorboards.He stands stock-still, as the deer who has caught a whiff of the hounds. The dim, watery light coming in through the window frames him as a shadow.Garza’s mouth twists. He does not care for this melancholy beginning to taint his anger.-When a man dies, undertaker Garza must join forces with an old friend to solve the mystery. However, the case digs up some uncomfortable truths neither wants to face.
