AWARD-WINNING author. A lively cocktail of intrigue and mayhem shaken (not stirred) together with a dash of laughs set on a sunset cruise for the ages, from the author of Dawn Trouble and Three Ring Circus. "Holy shit, Bowen! Where have you been hiding?" - John Gilstrap, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Fire. After losing his lunch across Monterey's Coast Guard pier, nervous newly successful writer Walter Straub wobbles aboard the Diego Wind for an evening cruise with a who's-who of celebrity authors. It takes cocktails on deck, dinner in the captain's wardroom, and whale watching at sunset before he finds his stomach settled, his nerves calmed, and his attention and affection drawn to lovely bestselling author Avni. All goes swimmingly until a guest goes to sleep with the fishes. Then more writers turn belly up. When those remaining look to pin the deaths on him, Walter must either sink or swim.
