A series locked-door mystery set in Florida and featuring an amateur female sleuth. Back cover copy: Keegan's Fourth Worst Decision Ever, All Because of a Very Old Debt One month before the millennium, a seven-year-old mute helps his stepfather dig up a cracked floor in the local Catholic church. He grabs up a handful of the exposed dirt, speaks his first word ever, and within weeks Lost River Florida is flooded with strangers who want to touch the healing earth and toss away their crutches. But one less-spiritual visitor, a journalist determined to jump-start his stalled career, insists the magic dirt is a hoax. Within days of his arrival, his smart mouth and non-stop boozing have alienated everyone in town and prompted a death threat or two. Keegan Shaw, in nearby Seminole Beach, receives a call from an old friend asking her to rescue the brash journalist - who Keegan knew from her days as a photojournalist in London - from Lost River's irate locals and from himself. Then somebody turns up dead on a pile of the magic earth, and there are almost too many suspects. And one question remains: How can a dead body end up in an empty, locked church that's been surrounded by people all night long, and with an active burglar alarm? Praise for False Promises: "Photojournalist Keegan Shaw has baggage. Married, divorced, a dead ex-husband, she's solved two murders and she's dating an English rocker. And the eccentric cast of characters she's surrounded by have even crazier lives. False Promises is a locked room suspense/murder that will have you guessing right up to the end. Wonderful story, strong characters, highly recommended." -Don Bruns, author ofthe Quentin Archer Series, the Stuff Series and the Caribbean Series "Sandra Robson has managed the best Florida can provide: a taste of the surf and a murder set among the ranches and small towns of rural Florida. Hooray for a savvy sleuth and a cast of characters who sometimes aid in tracking down the killer and sometimes appear to be the guilty party. Twists and turns aplenty, you'll never guess the outcome until the end." -Lesley A. Diehl, author of the Eve Apple Mysteries, the Big Lake Murder Mysteries and the Laura Murphy Mysteries
