Unexpected death has a way of drawing attention to itself. Death calls on Jania Yewbanks when she accepts a delivery for her husband. Her obituary attracts the attention of Hannah Clare who has decided early retirement is boring and she returns to work as a P.I. Her first case is to find how Jania Yewbanks died. The investigation leads her to a murder-for-hire ring that advertises itself as a gift service in the local newspaper. More than one murder, more than one murderer cross Hannah's path as she tries to discover the identity of the person or persons behind the murder-by-mail company.
