Fold and Die

Murder on board a cruise ship… Intrepid private investigator Jordan Lacey is back with a new – and unusual – mission. She has been hired by wealthy divorcee, Joanna Carter, to accompany her as an undercover bodyguard on a two-week cruise to Norway. Joanna claims that her ex-husband has hired an assassin to kill her – and now she lives in fear for her life. While Jordan is reluctant to accept – after all, she is a private investigator, not a trained bodyguard – she desperately needs the money. But on board Orpheus Odyssey, a series of events turn what is meant to be a straightforward arrangement into something much more sinister. Not only is Joanna’s diamond necklace stolen, but she is later found strapped to the starboard keel ladder… Someone is clearly out to get Joanna Carter – but who? Things come to a head when Joanna is murdered in mysterious circumstances – and Jordan is accused of committing the crime. Jordan is now faced with the biggest case of her life: find out what really happened to Joanna Carter – and prove her own innocence. Fold and Die is a thrilling murder mystery in the acclaimed Jordan Lacey series.
