From official release/information:

From back of book: Samantha Sterling's new job managing a B&B in historic Tombstone, Arizona, turns out to be a killer...literally.

The sprawling Sunset Bed and Breakfast is owned by an aging pair of gay hit-men and their tough-as-nails mother looking for help with their real business of whacking people for "The Company". All in the name of national security, of course.

After witnessing the poisoning of a "client" on her first day on the job, Samantha is faced with the choice of joining in the family business of following the dead man down an abandoned mineshaft. Our lady plays along to stay alive, but is desperate to escape. The question is how? Michael Herod and his life mate, Sidney Munson, along with Sidney's 75-year-old mother, Esther, an experienced hit-lady who carried a gun in her beehive of purple hair, not only keep Samantha under constant surveillance, they've also destroyed her previous identity.
