Mystery
A body in a bathtub is the last thing Sylvia Thorn expects her
mother’s travel club to find when they check into their
Laughlin,
Nevada hotel rooms. The Florida Flippers, named for their long-standing support
of the
Miami Dolphins, scatter like dandelion fluff, intent on
investigating
a murder case to which they have no apparent connection. From
the elderly wannabe cowgirl with wild red hair to the caustic-
tongued volunteer park ranger in orthopedic hiking boots, the
Florida Flippers keep Sylvia on her toes as she does a little
sleuthing of her own. But when the Laughlin detectives want to interview the Flippers,
one of the elder travelers and her rental car are nowhere to be
found. The tour group soon makes a grim discovery at the Lone
Cactus Gold Mine near Oatman, Arizona, and Sylvia realizes there
may be a connection between her mother’s club and the body in
the tub after all. To add to the confusion, and Sylvia’s
internal
turmoil, the handsome and much younger FBI agent, who
tormented her in so many ways in Florida, is now in Laughlin
showing intense interest in her group’s activities. Soon Sylvia’s brother, reluctant clairvoyant Willie Grisseljon,
senses trouble. Unable to contact his mother by phone, and
prompted by his father who is equally alarmed, Willie abruptly
abandons his bachelor weekend in Florida and impulsively, with
Dad at his side, flies to the rescue. Willie soon wishes someone
would rescue him instead. The Desert Hedge Murders is a tangle of puzzling events that
seem to have no connection … until Sylvia and the Florida
Flippers stir up so much trouble that Laughlin detectives, the
Mohave County Sheriff, and the FBI are forced to work
together to
reveal the missing pieces.
