Her investigation takes her to Lima, to Paris, and New York where hair-raising events include two more murders. In Murder in Barbados Jamie Prescott lands in trouble immediately upon arriving on that Caribbean island. Dead bodies wash up on the shore. A woman disappears and the trail leads to Copenhagen where Jamie soon encounters more trouble before wrapping up the case in a surprise ending. What readers say: "Well-written. Fast-paced. Entertaining. Intelligent." MURDER IN SAN FRANCISCO Private Investigator Jamie Prescott still has it. The talent for landing in hot water, that is. When she attends a travel agents' convention in San Francisco she is plunged into the mystery surrounding a missing true crime TV producer and his lost research materials. Ever undaunted, her probe brings about a confrontation with a local private eye, with the producer's wife, and with his New York co-producer. Other characters such as a provocative fair dinkum Aussie, a visiting journalist, and a paroled murderer, muddy the waters.
