    Based on Actual Events: As a small boy hunting deep in the Florida swamps, C.E. “Kid” Miller had to become a crack shot, or his 5 sisters would go hungry. Now in the summer of 1946, Miller hunts Georgia moonshiners instead of game, and packs a Smith and Wesson instead of a double barrel. 
    For the first ten years of his career as a Revenue Agent, he and the moonshiners had a gentleman’s agreement – nobody pulled a gun. Since the big war ended, that’s all changed. The value of a gallon of moonshine is way up as is the crime associated with it. Now it seems everyone is getting trigger happy. 
    John Wallace runs Meriwether County with an iron fist. When he threatens to commit murder, Miller takes it personally. When the notorious Upson County Liquor Gang, run by the Godfrey brothers threaten his family, Miller goes to war. In his quest to bring these criminals to justice, Miller will reach across racial lines, and form a bond that would last a lifetime. 
    The moonshine business wasn’t all good ol’ boys and car chases. Sometimes people got hurt…bad. C.E. Miller was determined to shut it all down.

    A retired librarian turned detective. A sarcastic orange cat. A dead body in a locked bar in a charming seaside town full of secrets. 
    The champion of Oceanview Cove's first boat racing tournament barely has time to celebrate his victory before he's found dead inside the locked Salty Breeze. And like the killer who vanished without a trace, a hundred thousand dollars in prize money is nowhere to be found. For Jim Butterfield and his feline partner Ginger, this case defies all logic. 
    As they investigate the impossible crime, each clue only adds to their confusion. They learn the champion hid his prize money after the race, but in a case where everyone has an alibi and nothing makes sense, Jim and Ginger must look beyond the obvious to discover the truth hiding in plain sight. 
    Can our detective duo solve this locked-room mystery and recover the missing money before the killer finds it first? 
    The Body in the Bar is the sixth book in the Jim and Ginger cozy mystery series full of twists and fun. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
