What's better than one King Vulture? Two, of course

Merry Wrath, former CIA turned Girls Scout troop leader, is over the moon when her wacky taxidermist sisters-in-law present her with a stuffed King Vulture named Nellie Lou. But while the bird is beautiful, the deceased vulture has a secret past that leads to unanticipated trouble-ranging from a bad LSD trip to actually tripping over a dead body in Merry's garage

When a bizarre pair of men named Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon start lurking about, and Central Iowa is plagued with a rash of taxidermied animal thefts, Merry wonders how she's once again managed to get in the middle of it all. It doesn't help that she has to mentor a younger troop with two unmotivated leaders and a kid who experiments with napalm.

With an arrogant mayor causing trouble, her house being trashed, and a dangerous kidnapping, Merry has to figure out who the killer is before Nellie Lou isn't the only dead thing in her life.
