R.I.P

Jim and Maud McStuffem own and operate the Peaceful Rest Funeral and Reception Service, sometimes not as efficiently as they would like. An error on the part of their staff sees them getting on the wrong side of a Mafia don, Vittorio Paruzzi. As revenge, Vittorio kidnaps their makeup girl, Fleur, stashes her at his brother Mario's place, and holds her hostage for $500,000. Fleur is no shrinking violet (or, er, iris) and soon turns Mario's household upside down. Things become even more complicated when a rival Mafia don decides he wants the $500,000 and kidnaps Fleur from her captors. He has no idea what he is in for. ***** Praise for Siblings: "An intense, well-crafted story of how the people closest to us can become our worst enemies" -Kirkus Reviews
