Joan Opyr is the most entertaining new voice in lesbian mystery.-Val McDermid, author of A Place of Execution. My brother, Sam, died as he''d lived-with criminal charges pending. Sam Hardy is gone but not forgotten. That''s because he causes nearly as much trouble dead as he did when he was alive. A note found in his dresser taps his sister, Bil, to deliver the eulogy at his funeral, but she''d really rather not. For one thing, she''s torn between genuine grief and guilty relief. Sam was not an easy brother to love. And, she knows that her overbearing mother, Emma, had been looking forward to using the pulpit herself to deliver a stinging indictment of the criminal justice system, the war on drugs, and Sam''s juvenile delinquent loser friends who always seemed to leave him holding the bag. Will Bil''s relationship with girlfriend Sylvie survive the family fallout? Whose life will Emma run now that Sam is gone? And how did the dead body of Sam''s favorite drug dealer wind up in an old shack on the Hardy family farm? From Hell to Breakfast, the sequel to the boldly irreverent Idaho Code, proves that when it comes to death, anger doesn''t always give way to acceptance, but it sometimes shares a bed with humor.
