GREASING THE PIÑATA


Greasing the Pinata A former U.S. Senator disappears shortly after his son goes missing. When the son is found dead at the bottom of a water hazard on a golf course in Mexico, it falls to the Senator's estranged daughter to find out what happened.

Private investigator Cape Weathers doesn't want the case. He doesn't know the terrain and he doesn't like politicians. But he suspects the daughter won't survive very long if he turns her away. He doesn't know the half of it.

Cape unravels a conspiracy that leads from boardrooms in New York to places in Mexico never seen on any postcard. When his investigation gets the attention of a Mexican drug cartel, Cape asks his deadly companion Sally to watch his back. Sally confronts a killer even more dangerous than she is, someone determined to bury the past along with anyone trying to dig it up.

Miles away from home and nowhere near finding the answers, Cape manages to steal from the mob, piss off the DEA, alienate the local police, confound a computer genius, and somehow lose the client he's been protecting all along.

Greasing The Piñata is a novel about family, politics, and the devastating effects of tequila on a private detective's investigative abilities.



Greasing The Piñata is the third Cape Weathers Investigation, coming to bookstores December 2008.
