Best friends Tallulah and Penelope always seem to get into trouble in their sleepy Tennessee community of Sugar Briar. It doesn't help that Tallulah has an uncanny sense of when someone is about to die. She had no business being outside during a lightning storm. Who would have thought lightning could bestow such an unusual and unwanted gift? The town is under three feet of snow for the first time in decades, which is driving the residents insane. It doesn't take long for Tallulah and Penelope to get themselves into some crazy shenanigans as they try to find George Forester before his upcoming murder. But their snooping could gain them the unwanted attention from the Hallen brothers, Carlisle and Jessop, who run the criminal underworld in town. Tallulah and Penelope must tread carefully or risk falling into something they won't be able to recover from.

[it’s] bang up-to-date” (The Sunday Times). “Fascinating . . . darkly humorous yet disturbing.” —Publishers Weekly “Good right to the final page.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
