Nora Charles' debut novel "sparkles like the Florida sunshine" (Nancy Martin, author of How to Murder a Millionaire.)

Once a snowbird, now a full-time resident and sometime sleuth Kate Kennedy "is a stylish and sophisticated Miss Marple, seeking justice in sunny South Florida instead of a rainy English village, and meeting the most delightfully eccentric suspects in the process." (Victoria Thompson, author of Murder on Mulberry Bend)

Nestled between fast-track Ft. Lauderdale and nouveau-riche Boca Raton, the once sleepy beach town of Palmetto is plagued by progress. The latest news has Ocean Vista condo-board president Stella Sajak and other residents in an uproar. Developers plan to raze the property and put up a glitzy resort. But when Stella says she'll go to City Hall and fight this to the death, no one thinks to take her statement literally.

And when Kate begins to investigate the murder, she discovers that this little corner of the sunshine state is cursed with corruption, unsavory characters, and a very dark cloud overhead....
