Darby Hill's new job is to shine up TerraTech's public image.
So can she really be blamed for holding on to a sensitive piece
of evidence in order to protect that image? But visiting the
mortuary under a false name may have been a mistake. Now the
police want to talk to her. Worse yet, it seems someone is
setting her up as the 'fall guy' for two suspicious deaths.

"I found Two Dead, One to Die to be wonderful. I read
most of it one evening and the rest the next morning. Louise Hoblitt
is a good writer and story-teller. I loved reading about places I

one of the first pages that it said 'Darby Hill Series.'
I'm hoping that means there'll be more."
