Description

Three bodies. One suspect. Zero time.

After his girlfriend ditches him at a concert, private investigator Boise Montague makes the latest bad mistake in a long line of them. Only this time, instead of waking up with a hangover and some woman he doesn’t know, he wakes up with a hangover on a Caribbean beach, along with three women.

All of whom are dead.

With the dead women’s blood all over his clothes, no memory of what happened, and no way for Boise to explain it, the cops and the prosecutors think it’s a slam dunk. Boise knows he didn’t do it, but no one’s willing to listen—so he’ll have to find the killer himself.

But whoever said the truth will set you free never saw anything like this. The people behind it are powerful, careful…and they want Boise out of the picture for good.

Soon, Boise will face not only present danger, but past pain, because the deeper he digs, the more skeletons he finds. And some of those skeletons are his own. But will he finally bury them—and the past—or will those skeletons bury him instead?

Perfect for lovers of Agatha Christi, Michael Connelly, and Richard Stark, bestselling author Gene Desrochers’ third book in the hardboiled Boise Montague mystery noir series will take you on an adventure into the dark side of crime, the darker side of memory, and the danger that comes to anyone who ventures into a Crime Paradise.

Advance Praise

"Crime Paradise is the latest entry in the Boise Montague series by talented author, Gene Desrochers. Charged with multiple murders, the intrepid private investigator faces his greatest professional and personal challenges as he fights for his life. Agendas abound. Filled with heart-stopping tension and an array of characters who could flummox a platoon of saints, this murder mystery bounces from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands to Los Angeles as we follow Boise's quest to prove his innocence. Ultimately, he must confront the complexity of his own past, not simply the pasts of three murdered innocents. The Caribbean Noir roller coaster ride continues for Boise Montague in Crime Paradise, book three of his compelling series."

--Laura Taylor, 6-Time Romantic Times Award Winner

"After a wild night, Boise Montague is accused of a murder he didn't commit...or did he? Gene Desrochers once again scores with this compulsively readable tale which takes the reader from the sands of St. Thomas to the streets of Los Angeles and beyond as Boise runs from his past, but cannot hide."

--R. D. Kardon, award-winning author of The Flygirl Trilogy

"As finely crafted a mystery as they come!Crime Paradise takes the reader on a ride through the gritty backroads and underbelly of what most statesiders consider paradise. Gene Desrochers' intimate knowledge of the real Virgin Islands and their people make this the most authentic novel series I've ever read, for both the physical settings and the culture. This third book is the capstone, thus far, with even more action, red herrings, and "oh my gosh" moments as Boise's choices put him in greater danger than ever before. An excellent read, and highly recommended!"

--Thomas M. Wing, author of Against All Enemies
