About the book:
Emily Rhodes came to rural
Florida for the cowboys, the cattle, and to do a little country two-step, not
to fall head first onto a dead body in a dumpster. Ah, the golden years of
retirement in the sunshine state. They’re more like pot metal to Emily, who
discovers the body of the county’s wealthiest rancher in the Big Lake Country
Club dumpster. With her close friend accused of the murder, Emily sets aside
her grief at her life partner’s death to find the real killer. She underestimates
the obstacles rural Florida can set up for a winter visitor and runs afoul of a
local judge with his own version of justice, hires a lawyer who works out of a
retirement home, and flees wild fires hand-in-hand with the man she believes to
be the killer.

About the book:
It seems as if Emily is
destined to discover dead bodies. This time she finds one of the contestants at
the local barbecue cook-off dead and covered in barbecue sauce in a beer
cooler. She should be used to stumbling onto corpses by now and the question of
who killed the guy should pique her curiosity, but Emily decides to let
Detective Lewis handle this one, at least until she figures his theory of who
did the deed is wrong, wrong, wrong. Lewis’ denigration of Emily’s speculations
is condescending enough to stimulate her dormant snooping skills. As the two of
them go on their separate paths to find the killer, Lewis’ old partner, Toby
the dirty, tobacco-spitting cop interferes in the investigation leaving Lewis
with the wrong man in jail. Killers, bootleggers, barbecue and feral pigs—it’s
a lethal game of hide and seek in the Florida swamp.
About The Author
Lesley retired from her life
as a professor of psychology and reclaimed her country roots by moving to a
small cottage in the Butternut River Valley in Upstate New York. In the winter
she migrates to old Florida—cowboys, scrub palmetto and open fields of grazing
cattle, a place where spurs still jingle in the post office, and gators make
golf a contact sport. Back north, the shy ghost inhabiting the cottage serves
as her literary muse. When not writing,
she gardens, cooks, frequents yard sales and renovates the 1874 cottage with
the help of her husband, two cats and, of course, Fred the ghost, who gives
artistic direction to their work.
She is the author of a number
of mystery series and mysteries as well as short stories. The third book in the
Eve Appel murders (from Camel Press) A Sporting Murder was awarded a Readers’
Favorite Five Star Award and her short story Gator Aid a Sleuthfest (2009)
short story first place. She has fired the alligator that served as her
literary muse when she is in Florida and is interviewing applicants for the
position.
