Tess is back - and life is grand....well, if not grand, then great....well, ok it's.........ah nuts, some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed! Tess and her Dad butt heads and attitudes in this one.

It took nerve to do what Tess Monaghan did to get to the bottom of the murder of the nameless girl. When the first clue was found the puzzle started fitting together. The trick was to find the pieces.
