Synopsis

When traveling with Percival Pettijohn, it was best to bring a sidearm.It’s 1926. The West Coast Development Company is staging its biggest land deal in Homosassa, Florida, selling pieces of a planned city to speculators who dream of a tropical paradise. Army nurse Cornelia Pettijohn takes leave to travel to Florida with her ancient uncle, Percival Pettijohn, who claims that he wants a warm winter home. When their car breaks down, they take the local train, The Mullet Express, into Homosassa.Immediately after climbing aboard, things go awry. A passenger is poisoned, and dies despite Cornelia’s best efforts to save him. A second murder victim boards the train back to Ocala, iced down with the fish. Uncle Percival, who has a hidden agenda for the trip, becomes the sheriff’s prime suspect. Some gangsters also take an unsettling interest in the retired professor. Cornelia and Teddy Lawless, a twenty-year-old flapper in a body pushing sixty, must chase mobsters and corner suspects to dig her uncle out of the hole he’s dug for himself.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Gwen Mayo is passionate about blending her loves of history and mystery fiction. She currently lives and writes in Safety Harbor, Florida, but grew up in a large Irish family in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. She is the author of the award winning Nessa Donnelly Mysteries and co-author of the Three Snowbirds stories with Sarah Glenn. Her stories have appeared in A Whodunit Halloween, Decades of Dirt, Halloween Frights (Volume I), and several flash fiction collections. She belongs to Sisters in Crime, SinC Guppies, the Short Mystery Fiction Society, the Historical Novel Society, Independent Book Publishers Association, and the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Gwen has a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Kentucky. Her most interesting job, though, was as a brakeman and railroad engineer from 1983 - 1987. She was one of the last engineers to be certified on steam locomotives.

Sarah E. Glenn has a B.S. in Journalism, which is a great degree for the dilettante she is. Later on, she did a stint as a graduate student in classical languages. She didn't get the degree, but she's great with crosswords. Her most interesting job was working the reports desk for the police department in Lexington, Kentucky, where she learned that criminals really are dumb. Her great-great aunt served as a nurse in WWI, and was injured by poison gas during the fighting. A hundred years later, this would inspire Sarah to write stories Aunt Dess would probably not approve of.
