Tag and Lori are the couple on the top of the wedding cake. Everything about their relationship is perfect and they're both deliriously happy -- except for one tiny little, earth-shattering problem.Her name is Marcie and despite the fact that Tag likes to think of himself as a pretty decent guy, he just can't shake his desire to do some... well, some not so decent things with her.When his obsession with Marcie gets to the point that he finally breaks down and confesses his struggles to Lori, Tag is touched by her compassionate and understanding response. He breathes a sigh of relief -- until the next day when Marcie turns up dead.Could sweet, dainty, couldn't-hurt-a-fly Lori be a... be a... Tag can't even bring himself to think it. But could she? Detective Steiner doesn't think so.Detective Steiner first joined the force because as a kid he loved watching cop shows. Then he spent the next 20 years learning that cop shows aren't very realistic. When his investigation leads him to Tag, he sees in him the potential for the type of cop show cat and mouse game that he's always dreamed of. But Tag wants no part of that -- he's not even sure if he wants to know the truth himself.Of course the truth may come out anyway if Susan keeps poking around. Susan is Tag and Lori's recently widowed next door neighbor whose hobbies include gardening, drinking and hypochondria. She also has a thing for Tag and she's not afraid to show it, so if Lori was suddenly out of the picture, that would probably be alright with her.On second thought, Tag and Lori have more than one tiny little problem.… (more)

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
First officer on the scene says it's a simple rear-ender, no fatalities or major injuries, but the force of the crash pops the front car's trunk open and, surprise surprise, also shakes up the fresh stiff they got hiding in there.
Quotations
I never thought a death sentence could be romantic, but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
To give away flowers you have to literally cut off their life supply: “Here you go, it’s pretty now, but it’s rapidly dying and will decompose before your eyes.” It’s like giving someone a pet fish without the bowl.
I suspect that many of the horror stories about jail are greatly exaggerated, but still, I wouldn’t want to pass out in one.
My mom always used to say, ‘A watch pot never boils,’ and I never knew if that really was something people used to say or if she just made it up, but I understood it either way.
I think we could be friends on the outside. He really appreciated the makeshift vision test I gave him, and I appreciated the pointers he gave me on how to fool a Breathalyzer. It turns out he never knew he needed glasses and I never knew how much I could do with a penny. Well come to think of it, he did say he was in on a D.U.I., so maybe his method isn’t quite as reliable as he thinks it is.
