When Atlanta homicide detectives are called in to investigate the murder of a nineteen-year-old girl found dumped in historic Oakland Cemetery, they immediately begin working the case. But with no leads to follow, and their case log growing larger by the day, the murder quickly grows cold. Desperate to keep the investigation of her deceased sister going, Ginger Baines hires two novice sleuths to solve the case. Widowed, well into their seventies are new to the world of private investigating, Clara Samples and Iris Hadley aren't your average private eyes. When a second body is found in a neighboring cemetery, the plot thickens. With two bodies wrapped, almost lovingly, in a soft blanket before being discarded in a cemetery, could a serial killer be on the loose? Joined by their young apprentice Quita, Clara and Iris are determined to stop at nothing to find the killer before they can strike again. But, will their bodies be the next ones discovered among the tombstones?

Lizzie Headrick thought she'd finally met her prince charming in Dr. Grant Chatsworth. Their fairytale courtship swept her off her feet and ended with the engagement ring of her dreams. As she moves into one of Buckhead's finest estates, Lizzie soon learns all that glitters is not gold. Her handsome husband, a renowned cardiac surgeon and the developer of a new congestive heart failure drug, is becoming cruel and controlling. It isn't long before she finds herself captive in the vast expanse of his estate without a phone or car and under the watchful eye of Flossie who runs the household. When Lizzie discovers that Cardiac Care Research, his drug development company, is a Ponzi scheme, she realizes her life could be in danger if she doesn't escape the gated mansion on the hill. Her only hope is to get to Biloxi, Mississippi, and seek refuge with her sister, Maggie. Maggie and her husband, Leland, quickly find a safe harbor for Lizzie at a house on the bayou. However, the house at the end of the street might not be the quiet retreat Lizzie was hoping for. The confines of her hideaway begin to close in on her, so she retreats to the historical cemetery next door where a small, damaged tombstone of a child soon catches her eye and captures her heart. Just as Lizzie Chatsworth thinks her world can't get any more complicated, she finds herself in the middle of a mystery from the 1800s that pulls her in, demanding that she seek justice. As her husband's empire begins to crack and crumble, he's more determined than ever to find Lizzie and eliminate her. But, will the mystery of the small tombstone end Lizzie's life first?
