Tropical Issue cover

Rita is in Madeira seeking justice for the murder of her mentor – the first book in a classic suspense mystery series, with an ending always sure to surprise!

Rita, a small, tough Scottish make-up artist, is on Madeira trying to find out who killed Kim-Jim. She isn't one for quitting, even when she learns she's caught up in an international drug-smuggling ring. Fortunately, Johnson Johnson and his trusty yacht, Dolly, are there to help solve the case.

Rita, a small, tough Scottish make-up artist, is on Madeira investigating who killed Kim-Jim, an American make-up supremo. Also anchored off the island is Dolly, the yacht of Johnson Johnson with whom Rita teams up to get to the bottom of this foul deed.

Rita’s fighting spirits are aroused despite the danger. She is not one for quitting, even when she learns she is caught up in an international drug-smuggling ring.

But she also discovers that dealing with the maddeningly enigmatic Johnson Johnson is, by no stretch of the imagination, plain sailing.
