Dead Calm (Beaver Island Mystery #2)

Author: Series: Publication Date:
April 2021

When a beloved local tennis pro is murdered, everyone in the Beaver Island community is a suspect. Was it one of his many paramours, another tennis pro trying to take his job, or some other hidden enemy?

After a tractor goes berserk at the groundbreaking for a controversial new construction site, the engineer in charge reaches out to Violet for help reverse-engineering the hacked equipment, but they miss their connection. And as Violet's vacation steams ahead, she toys with learning to sail while Irma toys with going on a real date with a dangerous ex-nemesis. But when she realizes Violet can count cards, Irma enters her in a charity poker tournament on a luxurious yacht—although she might have signed them up for more than they bargained for.

Witnesses might be dropping like flies, but with her trusty canine sidekick Mr. Pugglesworth and intrepid (but nauseous) nerd Violet Blackheart, retired British intelligence agent Irma Abercrombie sets out to find a killer.

Irma's trying to conquer the world.
Violet's just trying to conquer her vertigo.
