    About this ebook

    Megan knows one thing.

    
No matter what, she has to save her friend Cassie.

    If she can save herself first.

    Megan and Cassie travel to the tropical island of St. Colette for spring break vacation. Megan hopes to relax after a brutal winter. Cassie wants to chase surfers and enjoying the nightlife.

    But when a friend turns up dead, their plans go out the window. Was it an accident as the police insist, or is something sinister afoot in paradise?

    With help from a mysterious old lady and the police chief’s handsome son, Megan and Cassie set out to find the answer.

    The problem is, their investigation threatens to spoil the perfect crime.

    Soon they battle a hidden enemy intent on making them the next victims. And just when they think they’ve won, the real killer emerges from the shadows.

    Megan and Cassie will have to rely on their wits, and each other, if they want to survive their Killer Vacation.

    Killer Vacation is the first book in the new Lark & Landry Mystery series of novels written for fans of the golden age who-dun-it stories.

    What readers are saying about KILLER VACATION:

    “What a great fun read.” Carol

    “...plenty of twists and surprises right up until the end..” Fleur W

    “I can usually have these figured out as to who the culprit is somewhere in the last half of the story if not before but not this time!” glendaleona

    “The sassy main characters on their adventurous vacation had me laughing a lot...” Amazon Customer

    “...a great book that was hard to put down.” coyotecactus

    THE LOCATION

    St. Colette, a fictional island in the French West Indies, is a tropical paradise not yet spoiled by the tourist trade. It’s remote, wildly beautiful, and the perfect place for two teenage girls to find excitement during spring break vacation. Too bad it’s also ideal for murder!

    THE FEMALE SLEUTHS

    Megan Lark - A typical high school senior from a small farming community in southwest Louisiana. If the senior is introverted, relentless curious, and obsessed with justice. A young Miss Marple if there ever was one. Megan may yearn for the quiet life, but she’s willing to sacrifice everything to protect her family and friends.

    Cassie Landry - Megan’s best friend when they were young, Cassie moved to New Orleans at the age of twelve. In the time they’ve been apart, Cassie became the mirror image of Megan; wild, flamboyant, and above all else, interested in having a good time. She’s also proficient in martial arts, a skill which comes in handy when you’re being stalked by a killer!

    Author

    R.F. Kacy

    R.F. Kacy (or Kacy as he is known) is a professional economist turned fiction writer who draws on 30 years of experience dealing with college students to create stories filled with quirky characters. His main writing focus is what he calls “Slightly Unclean Mysteries.” Think Nancy Drew meets Alfred Hitchcock at a party thrown by David Lynch. Not quite cozy, but not a splatter-fest either. Sometimes weird and head-scratching. They’re the stories Agatha Christie would write if she was wandering around 21st century America. Kacy grew up in the Detroit area, earned degrees at three different universities, and ended up working most of his career in the deep south where he still lives with his wife and a small, demented cat named Peanut. He dreams of becoming a digital nomad, exploring the U.S. and the world by caravan. Or, at the least, getting more opportunities to visit with his son as he follows his own meandering path through higher education. By day Kacy is often seen with handsaws, planes, and other ancient implements for working wood. By night he roams the darkened streets, looking for stories and trying not to fall into open manholes.
