Cycle Path Mysteries

Mackinac Island is a peaceful summer resort town where everyone coasts through the streets on bicycles. But after someone sends a prominent local on her final ride, it's up to one resourceful visitor to get things running again . . . Hoping to shift her chances of a promotion in her favor, Evie Bloomfield heads to Mackinac Island to assist her boss's father. Rudy Randolph has broken his leg and operating his bike shop, Rudy's Rides, is too much to handle by himself. But Evie's good turn only leads to more trouble . . . After Evie's arrival, wealthy resident Bunny Harrington dies in what looks like a freak bike accident. Upon closer inspection, Bunny's brakes were tampered with, and now the prime suspect in her murder is also Bunny's number one enemy: Rudy. So if Evie hopes to stay on her boss's good side, she'll need to steer Rudy clear of jail. Now she must quickly solve this mystery so she can put the brakes on the real killer's plan . . .

Evie Bloomfield puts the pedal to the metal-in the latest Cycle Path Mystery from the nationally bestselling author of Geared for the Grave. Moving from Los Angeles to small, picturesque Mackinac Island to work in a bike shop might seem crazy, but Evie knows it's the best decision she's ever made. That's not to say she's gotten rid of all her stress; after all, the upcoming Lilac Festival has everyone in town riding in circles. But things really go downhill when a ferry full of tourists-including Evie's friend Fiona's former boss, the editor of a sleazy rag in LA-arrives on the island. No one knows why Peephole Perry came all the way to Mackinac, but things aren't looking good for Fiona when Peep is found dead. Now Evie has to gear up and get a grip on the truth if she wants to clear her friend's name . . .

Smugglers on the hunt, a police chief on the run, lost loot, and a dead wedding planner have the Mackinac Island regulars riding in circles. After solving two murders, bike shop owner Evie Bloomfield thought life on Mackinac Island would settle into boredom until she finds out Nate Sutter, island police chief and once-upon-a-time undercover cop is on the run. Some bad-ass guys from Nate's Detroit days think he stole money from them in a champagne smuggling operation and now they're headed to the island to get their loot. Evie is determined to help Nate because he's a good cop, Nate is determined to keep interfering Evie and island locals out of harm's way, and the crooks are determined to get their money. To add to the island's problems, there's a dead guy on the dock and the new wedding planner is more interested in playing bedroom bingo than ordering bridal bouquets. With the help of Fiona, Evie's BFF and local newspaper editor, Evie is determined to prove Nate innocent, figure out how champagne smuggling, bodies on the dock, and a bad wedding planner are tied together, and not wind up taking a long walk off a short pier herself.
