Forced to choose between one man who wants to marry her and another who already did, Callie Valentine Jones can't think of a better way to check out of her personal Heartbreak Hotel than to get out of town. So when Lovie invites the whole Valentine clan to visit her archaeologist beau's worksite near Cozumel, Callie packs up Elvis, her crooning Basset Hound, and heads for the airport. They've barely arrived when Elvis sniffs out a skeleton too fresh to be part of the research. Though some blame ghosts and gods, Callie knows the guilty party is human -- and she's determined not to get involved until Lovie and Elvis disappear.
