Murderland - by Thomas B Cavanagh (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

You'll pay for admission with your life . . . An amusement park hides a killer in this unforgettable thriller from "a great new talent in crime fiction" (Lee Irby, author of Bottom Feeders).

As Orlando's third-largest theme park, Empire Realm, prepares to celebrate its twentieth anniversary, a public relations disaster strikes. In a span of three weeks, two tourists are found dead, victims of strangulation.

Enter Kevin Lonnegan, cop-turned-private investigator. Going undercover as a park employee in the brutal Florida summer still has to be better than the seedy workers' comp cases and messy divorces usually thrown his way. After all, theme parks are supposed to be the happiest places on earth. But a cold-hearted killer has made this one their hunting ground . . .

Praise for Thomas B. Cavanagh's Mike Garrity novels, Head Games and Prodigal Son

"An Orlando, Florida, thriller that reads like a high-speed theme park ride . . . with dark humor so sharp it'll make you bleed." --Brian Freeman, New York Times-bestselling author

"Carl Hiaasen fans will be thrilled to know there's a new kid on the block. If you liked Basket Case, you'll flip over Thomas B. Cavanagh's sardonically and outrageously funny lead character." --Charlotte Hughes, New York Times-bestselling author

"With the clarity of Robert B. Parker and the complexity of Michael Connolly, Prodigal Son disturbs and charms at the same time." --Booklist
