   A retired Marine is found planted in his own flower bed, dressed in death as a garden gnome.  The murder exposes the seedy side of suburbia as Veronica Sparrow, a bored twenty-something cynic, and her identical twin uncover a truly deranged killer hidden in the midst of the impeccably manicured lawns on Quail Court. 

   Neighbors become suspects: the married male professor who slept with the dead man's son, the enraged father of the girl to whom the victim gave diet pills, and the high school loner, neighborhood kleptomaniac, who pilfers incriminating evidence.  A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood unearths more secrets than a naked body in front of a mirror.  A kinship between order and chaos must be embraced to discover the truth of become the next target.
