Jeff Resnick has a knack for getting into trouble. And sometimes he isn't the
only one.
And what is June without a wedding? As it happened, in
DEAD IN RED, the second
Jeff Resnick Mystery, Jeff's older half-brother, Dr. Richard Alpert, was about
to get married to his long-time significant other, Brenda Stanley.
It was to be a small wedding. Just the bride and groom, Jeff as best man, and
Brenda's friend, Maggie Brennan, as bridesmaid. Then the four of them would go
out to a nice lunch before the bride and groom left on their honeymoon to Paris.
And yet even small weddings need certain items. Things like the wedding dress,
the tuxes, flowers, and of course, the license.
While all that took place, Jeff, a former insurance investigator was looking
into the circumstances surrounding the death of a local bartender. That led him
to the bar scene and drag shows. Richard sort of tagged along. (Yes, sort of!)
And then there was a fightβperhaps a brawl would be a better term. Let's just
say the wedding pictures were to become a whole lot more interesting. And then
things took an even more sinister turn.
Will Brenda finally get that man of hers to the altar?
Find out in
DEAD IN RED.
Jeff Resnick
Mysteries #2
Sometimes it seems like murder and mayhem follow Jeff Resnick, challenging his
psychic βsixth senseβ to solve crimes. Since the vicious mugging that changed
his life, heβs tried to keep his unwanted gift in check. But when a bartender at
his favorite watering hole is murdered, visions of a sparkling red womanβs
high-heeled shoe and a pair of bloody hands linger in his mind--and hit too
close to home.
When Jeffβs older brother, Richard, last helped him with an investigation, it
nearly cost him his life. Still, Richard is determined to tag along as Jeff is
drawn into the seamy world of fetishes and drag queens to find a murderer before
another life is taken.
