When a headless corpse is found in an abandoned cattle pen in a remote area of South Florida called The Devil's Garden, police connect the dots and they lead 60 miles due east to the gilded island of Palm Beach. The dead man is a friend of Reggie Kent, a gentle man who spends his time escorting lonely rich women to social events. But when the Palm Beach socialites close ranks against Reggie, he becomes the prime suspect in the grisly murder and turns to Louis Kincaid to clear his name. But what do the disparate worlds of cattle ranching and Palm Beach society have in common? And why are they hanging Reggie Kent out to dry? When other headless bodies turn up, Louis sets his sights on an unlikely suspect -- a prominent Florida senator with a penchant for sadistic sex. But Louis quickly finds out that in Palm Beach, the ultimate oasis of privilege and power, the rich will do anything to keep their secrets hidden. |
About P.J. Parrish:
P. J. Parrish (sisters Kelly Nichols and Kris Montee) is author of the critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling Louis Kincaid series. Their books have been Edgar, Shamus, Thriller and Anthony award finalists.
Both sisters, born in Detroit, Mich., were writers as kids, albeit with different styles: Kelly's first attempt at fiction was at age 11 titled "The Kill." Kristy's at 13 was "The Cat Who Understood." Not much has changed: Kelly now tends to handle the gory stuff and Kristy the character development. But the collaboration is a smooth one, thanks to lots of ego suppression, good wine, and America Online. |
