The Story
Life's a beach . . . until you die.
Fear is growing in sun-soaked South Florida. Hot on the heels of local resident Gil Shecker saving an heiress's cat from the jaws of an alligator, one of Norah McCarthy's misfit residents at her Florodora apartment complex finds a body on the beach. It appears a serial killer is brutally strangling young blonde women. When Gil is stabbed in what seems to be a separate attack, Norah is persuaded to investigate his murder. But while Norah uncovers Gil's spine-tingling secrets, the beach body count is rising . . . At least one deadly critter is intent on terrorizing the local community, and this time it's no alligator. This addictive, quirky crime series set in Florida is perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey.Author: Elaine Viets
