No one is worried when flight attendant Betty McNair disappears while on a layover in Antigua. Known for her laziness and less-than-exemplary "sleeping" habits, her fellow crewmembers are merely annoyed and decide to fly on to Baltimore without her. But the next day, Mercury, a member of the flight crew, spies a body floating in Baltimore's Inner Harbor while walking her friend's dog. The corpse is Betty, and Mercury's life is about to get a lot more complicated. Helped by her best friends, Roxie and Rex, and her psychic mother, Madame Zinski, Mercury soon discovers that Betty was embroiled in a dangerous game of smuggling, money laundering, and blackmail. Things take an unexpected personal turn, however, when her hunt for the killer leads her to question a winsome pirate named Rick. In spite of her recent skepticism toward romance, sparks fly between the two and Mercury is drawn to a man for the first time since her husband's death. But will solving Betty's murder also uncover intolerable truths about Rick? In Murder in Antigua, you never know what lurks behind the next page. But, whether it's danger, humor, or romance, one thing is certain-you'll enjoy every word.
