Be fearless like the Old Maids. Someone is abducting homeless people off the streets of Seattle. When a woman from a local shelter is found dead in Rudy's kitchen, Julia Applegate assembles an entire team to go undercover to exonerate her friend. Once again, this whacky-but fearless-group of older women will be joined by their team of helpful ghosts to blaze across the pages in search of a diabolical killer. When said diabolical killer has a scalpel to Julia's throat in an abandoned mortuary, one has to ask, "Is this the end of the Old Maids?"
