Tall, Dark, and Deadly

When her best friend vanishes, a woman combs Florida for a killer


Few people in Florida worry when Marnie Newcastle disappears. A successful lawyer with a wild side, Marnie has been known to disappear during her passionate love affairs. But Samantha Miller, a college friend who is as sensible as Marnie is impulsive, knows better. When Marnie vanishes a few days after moving into her dream house, Samantha is the only one who doesn't think her friend is off on another tryst. There are dark secrets in Marnie's past, and Samantha thinks one of them may have gotten her killed.

Investigating Marnie's menagerie of ex-lovers, Samantha finds a crooked contractor, a rock star, and a homicide cop-all with something to hide. A killer is stalking the Florida swamps, and Samantha must find him before he finds her-or else she may be the next to die.
