Fifteen years later, the building is scheduled for demolition. When a salvage team discovers a skeleton curled up in a locker, a hole in the left temple, Lockport's chief of police, Neil Redfern, is called in to investigate.
When Redfern learns that his girlfriend, Bliss Moonbeam Cornwall, also graduated that fateful year, he reveals details of the grisly discovery. She insists she knows who his victim is, but before any headway can be made in the case, another grad is killed. Could the two murders be connected?
Despite being warned against meddling in police affairs, Bliss enlists the help of two former classmates to find the killer. But digging into the past proves to be a dangerous pastime. Her unconventional methods jeopardize the investigation, her relationship with Redfern, and her own life.

In Ferris’s exciting follow-up to Corpse Flower (winner of the 2010 Unhanged Arthur Ellis Award), Bliss Moonbeam Cornwall, a divorced socialite now working multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet and keep her motorcycle running, and Neil Redfern, the police chief in smalltown LockPort, Ont., end up working together again when skeletal remains are found inside an abandoned school, where Bliss was a member of the last graduating class. As such, she’s able to provide insight otherwise unavailable to Neil and his investigating officers, but in her typical fashion, when she is told to leave police matters to the police and to stay out of the investigation, she takes things into her own hands. And when another classmate is found brutally murdered, Bliss and her former classmates become not just suspects but possibly the next victims. Apart from the suspenseful plot, the book is fuelled by Bliss’s character, which provides shots of humor as her determination, cunning, and manipulative ways get her into, and out of, trouble, and by the lively and sexy chemistry between her and Neil.
