Backstabber

Trouble is on the way when the corpse isn't even cold and Hitch is already on the scene--before the police. The apparent murderer, and Hitch's supposed friend, wants Hitch to scoop up the body and dump it into an unmarked grave. Hitch declines the invitation, but the police still want answers that Hitch can't provide. Meanwhile, across town, unsavory doings at a local nursing home hive piqued Hitch's interest when an elderly friend residing there takes a swift turn for the worse. Pursued as a potential conspirator in one murder while attempting to sort out the facts of the suspicious nursing home death, Hitch barely has time to work his day job. But he does. And nobody turns the turf with more wit and charm than Hitchcock Sewell. Aided by his ever-lovely ex-wife Julia, his sly Aunt Billie, and a big blonde backup singer, Hitch again makes the dark arts of crime fighting and interment a joy to behold.
