Book Description
Piper Monroe can't decide which is worse--getting dumped at the altar by her louse of a fiancé, or finding out he left her for her own cousin Tammi. Humiliated and temporarily homeless, Piper goes on the cruise that was supposed to be her honeymoon. Unfortunately, it's only after she sets sail that Piper discovers her ex-fiancé and Tammi are on board as well. She may be on her own personal nightmare of a vacation, but at least Piper has some fascinating fellow passengers to watch while on board: namely, the pampered and pushy reality show star Bebe Bosley. But when Bebe keels over from a fatal dose of poison, one of her flashy necklaces turns up hidden under Tammi's mattress. While Piper may be furious over Tammi's cheating ways, she doesn't believe her cousin capable of murder. A little sleuthing uncovers a surplus of suspects with plenty of reasons to off Bebe. Now it's up to Piper and her potty-mouthed parakeet to get to the bottom of the murder before the killer goes overboard to end her meddling ways . . . The perfect beach bag book, Death in a Deck Chair is an uproariously funny cozy murder mystery with a sassy Southern sleuth who'll have you laughing all the way up the gangplank.

Death in Eden
Author: Paul Heald
Publisher: Skyhorse
ISBN: 1631580264
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
He wanted to do research, but what he ended up with was a murder investigation—murder deep within the porn industry. Desperate to complete the last chapter of his law thesis on workplace dynamics for women to secure his tenure, Professor Stanley Hopkins stumbles on an old close college friend, Donald Johansson, who has plenty of female employees. The problem is that Donald is a porn video king. Taking his wife to California’s seedy city of Burbank to help with taping interviews (and to protect his reputation with the university, not to mention his marriage), Stanley realizes he is in way over his head the moment a leading porn star is brutally killed in Donald’s office during a party. Donald is arrested and pleads with Stanley to play legal detective. Stanley’s problems are compounded, as playing detective for a porn king puts him on thin ice with the university trustees, gets him in hot water with the police, dangles temptation in front of him, and puts his marriage at serious risk. As he solicits the help of eager porn stars and scrabbles for clues to help defend his old friend, Stanley feels the walls closing in on him more and more each minute. Death in Eden is a gripping page-turner and a darkly funny debut novel. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
