Synopsis: When the guest of honor is killed at an annual birding convention, justice will be swift . . . A flying visit to the City of Brotherly Love takes a murderous turn for Amy Simms, owner of Birds & Bees . . . Amy and her bird-loving crew are ducking out of Ruby Lake, North Carolina to attend the annual American Birding Expo in Philadelphia. The event will generate publicity for Birds & Bees, though assistant manager Esther is strangely reluctant to attend. Before she&’s even set up their booth, Amy manages to insult JJ Fuller, famed bird photographer and the expo&’s guest of honor. An inauspicious beginning, made worse when JJ is found dead as a dodo, his head caved in by a pair of binoculars. The police suspect Esther is mixed up in murder, and her mysterious past starts coming to light. Amy isn&’t sure what to believe. JJ boasted that he would be the first to locate a near-extinct woodpecker. Did a rival decide to beat him—literally—to the punch? With a ZombieFest convention taking place in the exhibit hall next door, there&’s all kinds of creepiness to contend with. And somewhere among the birders and the walking dead there&’s a killer hoping to fly the coop before justice is served . . .
