DEAD MAN’S FLOATGood food, rich company and a great story on how the other half lives combine for an assignment free-lance journalist Cat Marsala just can’t pass up. Except for the fact that all this eating and making merry will take place on a gorgeous sixty-two-foot sloop—and Cat hates boats and water.But she has a nose for trouble even if she lacks sea legs, and trouble is definitely brewing … definitely brewing aboard the Easy Girl. The yacht’s passenger list reads like a television drama—complete with characters whose real lives are laced with passion, scandal, vengeance… and murder.
The killer strikes behind a locked door—and there are witnesses to prove no one went in or out of the victim’s stateroom. It’s a crime that couldn’t have happened. Now Cat is hunting a killer in the middle of Lake Michigan—risky business for a woman who can’t swim.
