THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT GARY

Val Fremden Strikes Again, Book 2

Getting Ahead Ain’t Easy

There’s a fine line between quirky and crazy. How do you know when you’ve crossed it?

Everybody’s got their coping mechanisms. Val Fremden is no exception. But when her longtime boyfriend Tom Foreman takes off without even saying goodbye—well, that’s just the kind of thing that can make a good woman go bad.

Out to track down Tom or die trying, everyone Val meets seems like a potential suspect. Especially her new coworker, Gary. Ever since he showed up, women around town have begun disappearing. And the macabre clues left behind at each woman’s last known address keep Val on the run like a chicken with its head cut off.

On the trail of a potential serial killer, Val must keep a cool head and follow the clues. Will the weird and wacky chain of events that follows lead her to Tom, or send her over the edge?

It’s gonna take an ex-Vegas showgirl, a Florida good ol’ boy, and an attorney of questionable stature to find out.

Come join the fun in this hilarious “could only happen in Florida” mystery romp. It’s the feel-good escape you’ve been searching for!
