Remember Chappaquiddick? Laura Farans does. Vividly! And she can't stop dreaming about it over and over many years later, because she was one of the "Boiler Room Girls" who attended the infamous party on that fateful July weekend in 1969 when a young woman's life was mysteriously snuffed out-along with a prominent senator's anticipated bid for the highest office in the land! But that dreadful incident was chicken feed when compared to other, even more horrific events that continued to feed Laura's troubling and odious behavior. And that was just fine with her, by the way, because this strange and beautiful woman-impossibly infectious and seductive on the surface-was as totally noxious inside as the magnificent but treacherous flower that spawned her sinister nickname! Chances are you won't like Laura Farans very much. Few did after getting to know her. But you won't easily forget the lady, either. Unless you were one of the unfortunate lovers who couldn't resist the deadly orchid's perilous allure, and you're not around to think about her any longer! "Brilliant! Haunting! Delivers! Double-DOUBLE dare you to put it down!" ~Tim Pelfry-National Police Ledger "Scary as hell! Every guy's worst nightmare! Where can I meet this astonishing creature?" ~Erik Simpson-Chicago Loyola Review

"Cross-pollinates Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief with Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence."—The Washington Post Book World on Deadly Slipper Winter in the Dordogne: delicious food, ruggedly beautiful scenery, unscrupulous orchid hunters, illegal drugs, a poetic house-breaker, and three mysterious deaths and counting . . . In this electrifying third installment of the highly acclaimed Death in the Dordogne series, expat Montrealer Mara Dunn and Brit Julian Wood are living together in an uneasy, on-and-off way. When bad things start to happen to their friends—first Amelie Gaillard falls mysteriously to her death, then a local Turkish couple’s son disappears—each has a very different way of helping out. So different that each begins to wonder if they are really meant to be together. But when Julian, with his unerring understanding of the orchid lover’s mind, thinks he has found the link between the local spike in drug traffic and murder, one of them might lose the other—permanently.
