Death by Inside Job: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery

About Death by Inside Job: A Hilarious Feel-Good Cozy Mystery

A basement renovation. A mountain of silica beads. And a mummified secret hidden in the walls.

After years of putting it off, Carlos is finally tearing down the cramped dressing rooms at Mamacita’s. All he expects is plaster dust, new mirrors, and a hefty contractor bill. Instead, a sledgehammer breaks through the drywall, releasing a flood of industrial drying beads and a very grim discovery.

There is a perfectly preserved body walled up inside the burlesque club. No smell. No missing persons report.

No one knows who the man in the tacky fake Rolex is, or how he ended up entombed in Carlos's basement. Detective Mendoza quickly discovers that a desiccated corpse in the island's favorite off-the-books bar is only the beginning of another grim story. The building's oldest blueprints have been carefully altered to hide the secret space.

While Reg, Alex, and Bombay follow a trail that winds through Mamacita's backstage corridors, old property deeds, and the island’s forgotten underworld, one thing becomes clear:Someone on San Malvino went to incredible lengths to make sure this man was never found. Can the island’s favorite sleuths figure out who the mystery man was and why someone buried him behind the dressing rooms before the killer returns to finish the job? It’s demolition day at Mamacita's.
