There’s a body missing at the morgue. Alexander Steeple should know—he sleeps directly above the corpses.

Growing up at Steeple and Sons Mortuary and Crematorium, with a mortician mum who cuts up cadavers, Alexander is pretty used to death. The thing is, the dead usually stay where they belong.

Not today.

Alexander wasn’t planning to launch a full-blown investigation, but when his mother knows more than she is letting on and when a trail of clues begins to show itself, he cannot help but chase the mystery.

Will he uncover what happened, or will the truth stay buried?

Grave Robbing and Other Curious Activities by Joel McKerrow is a thrilling tale of mystery and discovery, where the line between life and death becomes intriguingly blurred.
