A dead father's heroism is difficult to live up to, but an embittered mother is even harder to live with. Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Dana Sinclair longs for just two things: more action on the job, so she can earn a promotion like her father before her, and a better relationship with her estranged mother. When her partner is killed, she wonders how she'll get along without him. But when her own mother is murdered shortly thereafter and it appears that her dead father has come back from the grave to do it, she does everything she can to uncover the truth, despite warnings to the contrary from her boss. Then there's the bouquet of English daisies a mysterious man hands her at her partner's funeral—the very same flowers Daddy gave her the night he was murdered. So, are the flowers a gift...or a warning?
