Publisher's summary
WHAM, BAM, SCAM YOU, MA’AM…
Dive into the sun-soaked Florida Keys with The Happy Widow, where action, mystery, and a hint of romance collide. In this gripping saga of Will Harper's sixth adventure, the line between love and deceit blurs amidst the backdrop of sunny Florida. Tasked with what seems like a routine investigation, Harper uncovers a deadly scam targeting the elderly, where love is the bait and murder is par for the course.
The adventure kicks off with a honeymoon turned horror show, as Harper races to unravel the truth behind a wealthy widow's mysterious disappearance overboard on a cruise. But when he discovers the charming yet treacherous Alain Duvalier living it up in her opulent beachfront property, Harper realizes there's more to this widower than meets the eye. As Harper delves deeper into the investigation, he's drawn into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Duvalier and the menacing Millie Potts, a master manipulator with a venomous touch.
With each twist and turn, Harper's personal and professional worlds collide, thrusting him into a thrilling maze of deception and danger. From high-seas murder to a deadly scheme targeting the vulnerable, The Happy Widow is a heart-stopping blend of mystery, action, and suspense that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. For aficionados of Florida’s crime mysteries and admirers of John D. MacDonald, Dawn McKenna, and Wayne Stinnett, David Crosby delivers another action-packed tale with Will Harper, proving that in the quest for justice under the blazing Florida sun, there’s never a dull moment.

They were madly in love. The perfect couple. That was the story everyone in South River believed...until Gin Talcott and Adam Archer are found shot in their bed. Adam is dead at the scene. Gin is fighting for her life. Detectives Greta Jessup and Finn Pate are assigned to the case. Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.
