Dead and Not So Buried
Hollywood is rocked when someone breaks into the crypt of a 60’s movie star and kidnaps her corpse. Dubbed the Gravesnatcher by the press, the madman then holds Tinseltown hostage as he uses extortion, blackmail and murder to extract his own brand of revenge.
And caught in the middle is quick-witted PI Gideon Kincaid, an ex-cop with a troubled past who is led on a harrowing roller coaster ride through the sun-and-sin-drenched Hollywood landscape.
But Gideon’s not alone. There’s the tough as nails cop assigned to the case. Unfortunately, she’s Gideon’s ex-wife and hates him. And there the beautiful starlet who Gideon has to protect. Any red-blooded detective would want to sleep with her; unfortunately for Gideon, he already has. And it didn’t go well.
As the Gravesnatcher works his way through his own personal enemies list, Gideon is in a race against time to stop him. Can he put a stop to the crime spree before Gideon himself ends up dead and very buried?
