In Ruth Birmingham's Atlanta Graves, private investigator Sunny Childs of Atlanta's Peachtree Investigations is called upon to reclaim a stolen painting. The thieves want to ransom the artwork back to the insurance company. Instead of the painting, Sunny finds a murdered woman at the exchange site. In her search for the killer and the painting, Sunny must deal with a variety of eccentric shady characters, her meddling mother, and the pressure brought about by the fact that Peachtree Investigations will go bankrupt unless this case is solved quickly.
