GENRE: Cozy Mystery

BLURB:
The
verdict is in; a famed athlete is headed for prison. The jurors have done their
job and are free to go back to their lives.
But
after being sequestered for four months, life as some knew it no longer exists.
HAROLD
ASHMAN’s house is almost destroyed by a careless driver. Exotic dancer, CEECEE
LAINE, discovers that her boyfriend is two-timing her, and she no longer has a
job. Actor ALEX MANNING learns his career is down the tubes, and 72-year-old,
HELEN RYDER, discovers her family is plotting to put her in an old folks home.
Then
things take a turn for the worse. When former jurors start dropping like flies,
CeeCee, Helen, Harold, and Alex are convinced there’s a killer on the loose.
Now the feuding foursome must find him before he kills them—or before they save
him the trouble by killing each other.

EXCERPT:
While Helen
kept the salesman occupied, we untied the rope that the CHP officer helped tie.
Nervous, I glanced around. Sweat poured down my temples. My mouth felt dry. Any
moment, I expected a black and white to come shooting toward us, sirens
blaring. Only Helen and the salesman were inside the roped off area and they
both had their backs toward us. A trailer truck marked Mattress Sale in big
bold letters hid us from the street. Mattresses were piled high, creating a
barrier between us and the furniture store behind us. After making sure that no
one could see us and no security cameras were present, we reached into the bed
of Harold’s truck and grabbed hold of Carter. Lifting him by the ankles, I was
surprised at how cold he felt given
the hot day,
how heavy. By the time we laid him out on top of the most expensive mattress we
could find, we were both out of breath.
