Book description
A bizarre series of suicides by elderly women in England raises the

discovers that all the women had recently sent large sums of money to
a Western Union account in Vancouver. As Bliss uncovers the truth
behind the deaths, old friends Daphne Lovelace and Trina Button are on
a road trip through North America, raising funds to help those in need
of kidney transplants. But when their fabulous Kidneymobile is found
unoccupied with no trace of them, a perplexed Bliss searches
frantically for his friends, and the astonishing secret that links
their disappearances with the suicides.
