Plot
New to the biz but not to the dead, a take-no-prisoners apprentice mortician, Melisende Dulac, happens upon a horrific vehicular accident scene with multiple victims, all dead. Then she finds a baby too far from the wreckage to have been thrown clear from any of the cars involved: alone and alive.
When no frantic parents come looking for the little girl everyone in town thinks it's odd. Almost as odd as the bodies from the wrecks being stolen from Mellie's family's mortuary before any forensic evidence can be gathered. The cops are taking both oddities seriously, and Mellie can't explain either of them.
If Mellie can't figure out who died, who survived, and how the catastrophe at the crossroad is linked to the small town's unsavory past she's going to be out of work, out of a family and really out on a limb.
Still, she's been in tough spots before, and lived much of her life as the unwanted reminder, but she'd really hoped, at long last, she was done with all that.
