Wash, Fold and Die — Dolores Johnson

No ticket. No laundry. No alibi.

Mandy Dyer could use a date. Unfortunately, the man who has come to her cleaning shop has only business on his mind. Detective Stan Foster unceremoniously dumped Mandy nine months before. Now he wants her help: to identify a dead body by the laundry mark on a shirt.

When Mandy traces the mark, she makes an astounding discovery. She knew the victim--a handsome, womanizing artist--and knows that he has been dead for seven years. How does someone come back to life-only to be murdered? With a cast of outrageous helpers that includes a reformed bag lady, a street person named Honest Abe, and her own romantically challenged detective, Mandy is leading a dangerous hunt for the truth about an artist who painted a little, lied a lot, and left behind a life stained with secrets--the kind that gets people killed.
