A young girl receives a mysterious rose, attached with a letter, every day at her doorstep. A nice gesture, it seems, however, each day the rose loses a petal and adds a thorn, while the letters become increasingly morbid and cryptic. Who is the mystery deliverer? What happens when the last rose is delivered? Hannah Coleman is about to find out.

"I think something might have happened to me Saturday night. Something bad." Private Investigator Dani Ripper's client list is nuttier than the Looney Tunes conga line, but she diligently solves one crazy case after another, waiting for a game-changer. Enter Riley Freeman, 17-year-old honor student. Saturday afternoon Riley quietly placed a little strawberry sticker on her private area and pretended it was a tattoo. She didn't tell anyone about it. That night she went to a slumber party that featured drinking and boys. Riley fell asleep, woke up the next day with no reason to think anything happened... ...Until Monday, at school, when a classmate called her Strawberry. Coincidence or crime? Dani agrees to investigate. And the roller coaster ride begins.
