Bert and Nan Tatum are identical twins—and exact opposites. But when they become implicated in a baffling murder case, the sisters both think twice about leaving matters to Louisville, Kentucky's local police. Soon the twins are tracking a trail of cryptic clues that takes them back 25 years and into a hotbed of blackmail, adultery, revenge and a shocking double murder.

Solving a complicated Louisville murder has turned identical twin sisters Bert and Nan Tatum into local celebrities, and has made Nan, the star d.j. at Kentucky radio station WCKI, a sitting duck for call-in crazies who want her to play detective. But one case is too intriguing to a murder/suicide involving twins. And when Bert and Nan start digging up some crucial clues, they're lured into a deadly trap built for two.

Mystery's top authors and critics alike are raving about Bert and Nan Tatum, the identical twin sleuths of Double Murder and Double Exposure. Now, the irrepressible duo is back, as they find a dark double meaning in "a killer day at work".Bert has just taken a job as an assistant to divorce lawyer Stephanie Whitman, an overbearing, humorless micro-manager who demands that Bert work on Saturday. But since Bert already has plans, and Stephanie won't even be in the office on Saturday, Nan agrees to take over desk duty for her sister. The last thing Nan expects is a too-dose encounter with a surprisingly-well-dressed burglar fleeing Stephanie's office. Nan calmly calls the police, continuing her impersonation as she describes the intruder. But on Monday when the cops have a suspect, it's Bert they take to the station. Unable to identify the culprit, Bert watches helplessly as the suspect is released. And when she arrives at the office on Tuesday, she finds Stephanie's lifeless body, shot once in the back of the head. Horrified that the burglar freed by their identity switch could have returned to kill Stephanie, the twins set out to solve her murder—only to find themselves face to face with a killer who won't think twice about killing again.

Mystery's most engaging set is at it again, and crime doesn't stand half a chance. This time out, they're about to discover that antiquing can be murder. Nan and Bert are wandering the flea market shopping for each other's birthday gifts, when cantankerous antiques dealer Franklin Haggerty winds up with a tag on his toe. To make matters worse, Bert's daughter Ellie and her boyfriend, Chris, are the prime murder suspects. Delving into the world of vintage curios, the twins assemble a list of eccentrics with the means and the motive to kill Haggerty—including his oddly merry widow!
