Former CIA agent and current suburbanite Merry Wrath knows she's having a bad day when she wakes up wearing someone else's clothes in a locked room with a dead body and a dozen copies of the book, Boats of the Midwest. It doesn't help matters any when the police burst in and arrest her on the spot for the murder of a man she's never heard of. With an unimpeachable witness placing her at the scene of the crime, her Girl Scout troop trying to bust her out of jail, and a sister-in-law who's launched a one-woman campaign to send her to prison, Merry knows that this time she's in trouble.

And Merry finds it's tough to clear your name when you're being followed by a wannabe bounty hunter who's chasing you down and dealing with a group of teenage druids who have just bought a hearse and an old church they call The Chapel of Despair. Added to her trouble are a couple of tattoo artists with a creepy fixation on Lance Armstrong, a witness who works at the Pump & Pawn pawnshop/gym, and most of the town of Bladdersly, Iowa.

Can Merry solve this locked room mystery before she ends up locked in a cell?
