Summer on Cape Cod! While tourists pack the beaches and malls, Quansett locals meet for Tooner Sallid or Egz Bennie at Leo's Back End. Inventor Pam Nash bursts into this sanctuary like an IED. Can her reclusive old friend and fellow genius, the artist-author Edgar Rowdey, save her new Zappa? This revolutionary "Taser for pacifists" is set to debut at a waterfront lawn party on Saturday. But Pam's daughter Ashley, scared out of Las Vegas by death threats, is flying home to turn 21 with her family. How do you combine a VIP weapon launch with a birthday party? Leo's sous-chefs, ex-Fix-It Chick Lydia Vivaldi and Wampanoag Mudge Miles, agree to cater. But when Lydia finds a dead party-goer floating beside the dock, Edgar is forced to change from guest into sleuth. Was the victim murdered? If so, why? And how? While the police investigation trundles along its slow methodical path, the body count threatens to skyrocket. As Edgar reluctantly starts nosing around, he learns there's already been another death. Recognizing the murderous shell game they're up against, he and Lydia race to piece together random but crucial facts from everyone in Quansett, before the killer destroys the Nashes and Zappa.
Autorenporträt
A storyteller ever since she could talk, CJ Verburg spent more than a decade on Cape Cod collaborating on theater projects with the late artist and writer Edward Gorey. Their friendship inspired her Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod mystery series, from Croaked to Zapped and beyond, as well as her multimedia memoir Edward Gorey On Stage and her play Spin, or Twilight of the Bohemians, winner of the 2012 Centenary Stage Women Playwrights' Series and the 2011 Ashland New Plays Festival. A former editor and freelance writer for major publishers on both coasts, CJ now lives in San Francisco. She also writes the Cory Goodwin mysteries, starring the Boston journalist daughter of NYC private detective Archie Goodwin. Look for her stories in Fault Lines: Crime Stories by Northern California Writers; Seascape: Best New England Crime Stories, 2019; and Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine #30.
