Description
Meet Tripp Clipper, army vet turned undertaker. He's got an eye for spotting trouble; when a sweet schoolteacher lands on his embalming table after steering her car into a tree, he knows something is off. Why does the victim of a car wreck show signs of strangulation? Clip follows the clues--and the deaths--piling up. But when his girlfriend gets kidnapped, things get personal. Now he has to solve the mystery and save Paula before he's the next one lying in the morgue.Long description: Tripp Clipper is at the top of his profession as an undertaker. Whether it's serving a grieving family with compassion or embalming a tough case, Clip is ready to tackle it. But his latest body is different. This case of accidental death is really a murder.Clip raises his concerns, but the coroner's office is unwilling to reopen the investigation. He's forced to let it go. But then the bodies begin piling up and Clip feels it's his duty to investigate. Trouble is someone doesn't want him poking his nose into these deaths. Clip isn't worried about his safety; as an army veteran, he's been trained how to handle himself in sticky situations. But when his girlfriend's safety is compromised, he has to make a choice between her life and the answers to his questions.Praise for Mortuary Confidential"These true mortuary tales are poignant--and suddenly, gaspingly, in-your-face funny." --Booklist "Curious, wildly honest stories that need to be told, but just not at the dinner table." --Dana Kollmann, author of Never Suck a Dead Man's Hand Praise for Over Our Dead Bodies"It's funny and poignant and, as you dig in, it's very, very addicting. Once you've started "Over our Dead Bodies," in fact, you'll like it to The End." --Long Island Pulse
