Hide and Die

Life’s a beach, unless you’re PI Jordan Lacey… The seaside town of Latching's intrepid and unconventional PI, Jordan Lacey, has two new cases to solve: a paternity dispute and a strange cross-dressing mystery. Naturally, complications arise when the cross-dressing husband is suddenly killed. A deep-sea diver then gets in the way of an underwater saw and a bloodied shirt is found in the bin. With murders popping up everywhere she goes, Jordan begins to wonder: Is half of Latching killing off the other half? Soon, Jordan becomes entangled in a ten-year-old closed murder case of two children, which leads her to a near-fatal poisoning and a nasty encounter with a ferocious bull mastiff…not to mention a freak tidal wave. As work becomes entwined with an increasingly puzzling love life, Jordan struggles to stay afloat in a town submerged by mystery and murder. The fourth in the much-acclaimed Jordan Lacey series, Hide and Die is a gripping and thrilling mystery with a humorous and eccentric heroine.
