Description

With the publication of Death Cruise, a creative tour-de-force, award-winning author Dan Anderson again shows why he is one of the most fascinating and entertaining voices in the mystery field today. Chauncey McFadden, a Los Angeles PI, receives a frantic phone call from the president of a Miami-based cruise line. Two employees have been killed in port and Chauncey is hired to solve the crime and prevent further atrocities. The portly, wisecracking Chauncey has limited homicide experience, but naively accepts this job thinking it will be little more than a free vacation. However, things quickly fall apart as the body count climbs onboard ship and in Caribbean island ports-of-call. A shipment of drugs being smuggled into Miami disappears from the ship before its delivery which unleashes a vengeful vendetta upon everyone in its path. This riveting, fast-paced story includes a secret drug-smuggling cartel with voodoo roots that deals with its enemies in vicious, ritualistic fashion, an aging silver screen legend obsessed with revenge who is not what he appears to be, a ruthless corporate takeover artist thwarted in his recent attempt to seize control of the cruise line, and a cunning international assassin for hire who thwarts prosecution with his novel approach to murder. From Jamaica, Curacao, Venezuela, Barbados, Martinique, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic, Chauncey barely escapes three attempts on his own life and muddles through a maze of murder to solve not only his original homicide assignment, but a host of other crimes as well to achieve personal and professional redemption. Death Cruise is a serious, literate mystery written in a humorous vein. Readers are introduced to a new voice, and will quickly discover how much fun reading can be in the hands of an irreverent craftsman. It soars in originality and entertainment value, and has been cited for being more than a great mystery— great fiction as well. It has already received critical acclaim having won the Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Award – First Place Unpublished Mystery. Dan’s first mystery, Bad Vibrations, launched this heralded series and received numerous literary awards and popular demand for more of Chauncey McFadden.
