Historic Route 66: With its signs for "New Dead Things," the Biker
Bunny Bin, and the Kontiki Pizza and Chinese Restaurant that serves
only waffles - it's kitchy, crazy, and fun. How appropriate that it
would hold a place of importance to unconventional Tracy Eaton and
her dad, aging Hollywood hunk, Alec Grainger. Their Route 66
adventures always included a stay in Tecos, New Mexico, but their
regular stop at Lucy Crier's Lunch Pail Cafe is now a thing of the
past, since Lucy plugged her ex-beau and went to the big house for
murder. That's why it's perplexing when Lucy, safely ensconced in
her cell, is simultaneously seen dodging traffic along Route 66.
Naturally, Alec uses that mystery to lure Tracy and her sweetie
Drew back to America's Main Street. But the road takes a darker
turn when Woody Crier, Lucy's smarmy son, turns up dead, and an
even stranger bend when the FBI goes gunning for Tracy, calling her
one of America's Most Wanted. She has no choice but to go on the
lam, but this time, the Mother Road provides no escape. As the
danger escalates, Tracy knows if she can't cut through the web of
secrets and lies shrouding her favorite haunts and the pasts of
those dearest to her, everything she cherishes could vanish in a
Route 66 minute.
Book 3 in the "Tracy Eaton Mystery Series" -- Free-spirited Tracy
cheers when her stuffy husband, Drew, loosens up enough to
rearrange the nose of his secretive boss, Ian Dragger. But Drew's
timing couldn't be worse. When Ian is found floating face down in
the Eatons' pool, Drew is the prime suspect. Yet Ian made enemies
like the mint makes money, and other suspects abound, starting with
Ian's wife, who was at odds with her husband's affluent lifestyle,
not to mention the rumored affair, and sleazy journalist Nick
Wickerson, of "Nick Wick's Sin City" TV fame, whom Ian humiliated
in court. Still, Tracy expects to clear Drew in short order. But
that's before help arrives - in the form of her own mother,
over-the-top movie actress Martha Collins, and her
rigid-with-dignity mother-in-law, Charlotte Eaton. And when the
mothers get together, the fireworks go off. Obstacles mount higher
still when Drew's ex-flame, attorney CeeCee Payne, deals herself
into the game. But CeeCee's peculiar behavior raises too many
questions. Does she want Drew back? Or is CeeCee after revenge,
since her actions threaten to condemn him to a life behind bars.
When the bodies in the Eaton pool start stacking up like timber in
a logging camp, Tracy knows that nothing less than her wildest
antics will do. But as the blows keep coming Drew's way, she fears
that even her craziness won't be enough to save him.
Book 2 in the "Tracy Eaton Mystery Series" -- When the cops catch
mystery writer Tracy Eaton's mom, Hollywood legend Martha Collins,
alone with the bloody remains of celebrity litigant Vince Sperry -
holding nothing but a lame excuse - Tracy leaps to her mother's
defense, despite her own publication woes. Only Martha seems
determined to impede Tracy's attempts to clear her. That just
convinces Tracy that her mom has pulled a doozy this time, even if
Tracy can't see how anything Martha does relates to Sperry's
murder. Not that other suspects don't abound - but those scare
Tracy even more. Was Martha right? Had Tracy's stuffy lawyer
husband, Drew, settled his career-making lawsuit with a bullet? Or
did her dad, aging Hollywood heartthrob Alec Grainger, decide to
end an old feud once and for all? All roads lead to the past, to
one Hollywood scandal after another. Will Tracy's digging clear
Martha? Or will she unearth something that's sure to slam the cell
door shut on her exasperating, but well-loved, mother?
Book 1 in the "Tracy Eaton Mystery Series" -- Meet Tracy Eaton,
mystery writer, detective wannabe, and the offspring of
reality-challenged Hollywood stars. Trouble always knows how to
find Tracy, but she never expects it to pop up at her
sister-in-law's wedding - until the bride is kidnapped. When her
snooty in-laws would rather meet the bizarre ransom demand than
call the police, Tracy knows if justice is to prevail, it will
definitely need her help. But the whole Eaton clan begins behaving
suspiciously. The groom takes to riding around in a gangster's
bulletproof limo...the bride's loveable con man uncle disappears
under mysterious circumstances...there are also strange doings at
the engaged couple's trendy restaurant, The Gypsy Princess, which
the world's richest man is obsessed to own. Even the family legend
of the evil Gypsy queen comes under Tracy's scrutiny - is it the
childhood fable her sister-in-law claimed it to be, or a dark
prediction of things to come? It will take all of Tracy's innate
noisiness and wacky crime-fighting approach to get to the truth.
But not even she could have predicted the curious path her debut
case would take, or that she'd become the keeper of the Eaton
family's most closely guarded secret.
