Description
Beneath the sun and sea of South Florida, dark crimes and bone-chilling secrets are lurking. Introducing a brand-new twisty mystery series from award-winning author Elaine Viets.
When the body of adult film star Sammie Lant is found buried next to the courtyard pool of the Florodora, Norah McCarthy's apartment complex, she quickly becomes the police's prime suspect. Norah was witnessed having an argument with Sammie six months ago, the last day Sammie was seen alive - the day she gained notoriety for a shocking public stunt with a college football player. But events take an even darker turn when more remains are unearthed - ones with an apparent connection to Norah's tragic past. Is it pure coincidence that more than one person was buried by Norah's pool? And is the killer closer to home than she thinks? Introducing feisty, female sleuth Norah McCarthy, a cast of eccentric characters, and the dark underbelly beneath the palm trees and beaches of South Florida, this addictive new series is perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey.
