After her misadventures in Little Bavaria, Judith McMonigle Flynn has vowed to never ever find a dead body again (at least not for a while). But despite warnings from Cousin Renie, she can't turn down a suspicious guest reservation from Mary Smith of New York City. There must be lots of real Mary Smiths, especially in a place as big as NYC...
Alas, the woman who shows up at Hillside Manor is already known to Judith as Ruby Tooms, the world-weary barmaid the cousins met while attending Oktoberfest. Fearing that Judith might not accept her as a guest if she used her real name, Ruby dumps a cold case on Hillside Manor's Persian carpet.
After divorcing her father, Jimmy Tooms, Ruby's mother was strangled. Jimmy was in the clear, being in jail for stealing Judith's wallet when Dan McMonigle's ill-fated Meat & Mingle Café went bust. Could Judith try her sleuthing skills to see if the murderer of twenty years ago can finally be fingered?
At first, Judith demurs-until she learns from husband Joe Flynn that the homicide case was his former partner and old pal Woody Price's first murder investigation. The game is afoot, and for once Joe is more than willing to help his wife turn a cold case into a hot chase after a long-ago killer.
