When is a burned body more than a burned body? Late April, 1920. The coroner of Heman County, Ohio, is down with the Spanish Influenza. Miss Jocelyn Kuper, his assistant, is called upon to help County Sheriff James Lalley investigate a death related to a barn fire. And then, as they say, things grow interesting. Sometimes cooperating, sometimes not, Miss Kuper and Lalley work their way through the loves and hatreds of a tight-knit immigrant community until a chance encounter breaks the case wide open. This second Miss Kuper book brings along many of your old friends and introduces some new. From outhouse slop to fine dining, heartbreak to acceptance, and poverty to riches, break out the aquavit, offer everyone a jolt, and jump in the Detroit Electric for Miss Kuper and the Pigtown Sticker !
