Two crime scene cleaners find that the biggest messes are their own dirty secrets, in this bitingly funny novel from the author of Serial Killer Games.

Max, an unflappable crime scene cleaner working the graveyard shift, has seen all the ways criminals screw up. After twelve years of cleaning up their messes, she knows—theoretically—how to get away with murder. How to make someone vanish without a trace, in fact.

Wilder, a cheerful, charismatic drifter, needs cash and a fresh start. As the newest trainee in Max’s skeleton crew, he shows a nose for the work and brings inquisitiveness and enthusiasm in spades. Although…something about his work history seems less than squeaky clean.

When a local woman goes missing and Max needs Wilder's help to tidy up a big mess from her past—one she’s kept buried her whole life—he brings a surprising set of skills to the task. Anything for this odd and secretive girl he’s falling for. After all, with pasts like theirs, what's a little more dirty work?
