    "Laid-off journalist Lana Lewis is thriving as the proprietor of Perkatory, a coffee shop on quirky Devil’s Beach Island, Florida. She’s juggling a relationship with police chief Noah Garcia, enjoying the company of her best friend, Erica, and relishing the companionship of her golden Shih Tzu, Stanley. The only problem is her neighbor, Gus, who incessantly uses his leaf blower, disturbing everyone in the neighborhood. Lana has learned to tune it out, but Erica’s rage boils over, and she confronts Gus. Then Gus is found dead, killed when his leaf blower explodes. Erica immediately becomes suspect number one. But there are plenty of other candidates as well: Gus’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Honey Bailey, who thinks she’ll be written out of his will; Mickey Dotson and Doug Beck, who were scalded financially after purchasing a pirate-themed tourist cruise business from Gus; and plenty of angry neighbors who’ve had run-ins with him. As the clock ticks down, will Lana get someone to spill the beans on the killer so she can clear her friend’s name, or will Erica go to jail for a crime she didn’t commit?"

    “Why?” 
    A deranged fan has wagered a dangerous game with the heirs of a popular author, Janae Mayfield (writing under the name, Annie Reeves), who has died without finishing her life’s work of completing her popular mystery series. The family (Reese Mayfield and Peter Mayfield) has vowed to let dead authors and their works lie, choosing not to release the notes for the final novel or to hire a ghostwriter to complete the series. 
    As Annie Reeves’s fortune dwindles and one member of the family disappears, other members are concerned that they may be next. The assailant vows that the family and its fortune will diminish little by little if they do not complete the work. 
    Are there notes for the last novel? How far will the menace go to have his or her obsession satisfied? 
    The case lands in the hands of an ancient FBI agent who remembers when you traded secrets via a note stuffed into a pack of bubble gum and it was clear who the enemy was. 
    Agents Luke Donovan and Kim Novak will ride along with Agent Dan Wharton and look over his shoulder. Though he seems one step behind, don’t underestimate his powers of perception. 
    You will get a peek at the popular series that ignites the reason for fandom gone wrong. The “Calendar Series” is what some call Annie Reeves’s thrilling novels. 
    Annie introduces us to Justine Phoenix Webb, an investigative reporter with a knack for finding the truth and leveraging justice. She also elicits help from the intuitive Captain of Police Cornell Beaker and FBI Agent Nicholas Kasey. There may or may not be a romantic entanglement. 
    Don’t forget you have an actual case to solve, unlike what you find in other works of fiction. You must solve it before you discover you are…out of time!
