Sylvie's Cowboy Iris Chacon

Is it against the law to kill somebody who is, technically, already dead? Because Sylvie Pace wanted to dig up dear old (late) Dad and throttle him personally. It was his fault Sylvie got stuck in a business (thank heaven, not personal) relationship with The Abominable Cowboy.

Abominable, whose real name was Walter McGurk, co-owned the ranch with Sylvie's late father. Walt and Harry had a history, the details of which remained a secret. The ranch seemed to be the only asset of Harry's which had not been mismanaged, leveraged, lost, or stolen-probably because it was hidden so far back in the Florida swamps that everyone forgot about it. So Sylvie's entire inheritance was what she could fit into her (using the word loosely) "car" and what she shared with Walt McGurk, cowboy.

Sylvie knew her way around high society, sure, but around a real house without servants or a concierge, she didn't know how to do anything. Some of her mistakes around the house-especially the ones involving electricity-nearly killed the longsuffering Walt.

Will Sylvie and Walt get along any better when they find out Harry isn't exactly dead? Or will they realize how much they mean to each other only when someone is murdered?
