Separated at Death

A BILL HAWLEY UNDERTAKING'
Bill Hawley joined the family business right out of college. He doesn't mind dealing with corpses, caskets, and grieving relatives. But he's ready for something more exciting--like moonlighting as a private eye. Because sometimes the death certificate doesn't tell the whole story...

When a distraught son calls from thousands of miles away to arrange for the disinterment of his father, Bill Hawley takes it in stride. He's used to unusual requests in the funeral business. But when the coffin is opened, Hawley finds something truly unusual. Hidden with the father's body is the severed head of a woman--embalmed, surgically removed, and impossible to identify.

And suddenly the sleuthing undertaker finds himself piecing together more than just a mystery...
