Candy Breckner, sometime member of the St. Rose Quilting Bee, is at the Palo Verde Care Center recovering from an auto accident; with two broken legs, she cannot manage on her own. Maggie Browne and the Quilting Bee decide to visit, taking her a lap quilt they've made especially for her. Candy breaks down when she sees them, saying that she's afraid there's an “angel of death” at work in the facility. Dismissing her story as a side effect of medication, the women begin to have second thoughts after her sudden death. Especially when police questioning seems to indicate an unexpected interest in Bee member Louise Lombard, who discovered the body. Using their own unique style of investigating, Maggie and the others find the proper mix between quilting and investigative work. But will it be enough to save Louise . . . and other potential victims?
