Brandy Borne and her suspiciously well informed mother, Vivian, have the winning bid on an abandoned storage unit's "mystery" contents, which they discover includes a vintage cornet. But when they arrive to claim the rest of their loot, the space is empty- except for the recently stowed body of Big Jim Bob, Vivian's tipster-a.k.a. former flame. Murder turns to mayhem when an intruder steals into the Borne home and makes off with the cornet. But why is the horn worth killing for? Clues soon lead the sleuthing Borne duo to the next stashed victim-and some of Serenity's juiciest secrets. Now Brandy and Mother will have to catch the corpse-hoarding killer before it's time to blow "Taps" for all concerned...
