Casey and Death are on the run… again. This time, Casey needs to make her disappearance permanent. After obtaining new identification and throwing herself off the grid, she travels to Florida to begin a new life as Daisy Gray, fitness instructor for a moneyed, enclosed community. But even while keeping her head down, it doesn’t take long for Casey to find herself in the middle of trouble. One of the residents is attacked and Casey is the one to find her, bleeding on the tile floor of the locker room. Despite heroic attempts to save her, she dies, and the community is thrown into turmoil. The cops are at a loss, unable to find anyone who might want the woman dead. Casey, despite Death’s encouragement to “get the hell out of Dodge, or, er, Florida,” feels partially responsible, and won’t let the murderer get away with it. Besides, where else is she going to go? Is she going to abandon this life so soon, and try to forge another? Casey takes a careful look at the victim’s life. Who could possibly want such a nice, friendly woman dead? Could it be Del, the extremely muscular man from the weight room? Or Michelle, the victim’s best friend, and resident hottie? Or even Maria, the receptionist, whose key card was used to access the locker room so late at night? And what, if anything, do Casey’s predecessors in her new job have to do with it? Casey must find out. Even with Death on her back.
