Always Kiss the Corpse on Whidbey Island (An Islands Investigations International Mystery) - Hardcover
Sandro Vasiliadis, a nurse at the Whidbey Island General Hospital, has died of an apparent heroin overdose. When his grieving mother bends over to kiss her son's corpse at the viewing, a startling discovery is made. "That's not Sandro!" she shrieks. Convinced that her son must still be alive, Maria Vasiliadis hires Islands Investigations International and Kyra Rachel and Noel Franklin to solve the mystery. With questions of foul play continuing to swirl around the death, the detectives' inquiries lead them deeper into Sandro's life and to a medical clinic that specializes in transgendering. The plot thickens as hints of Sandro's other life begin to surface. Kyra and Noel's investigation takes them from the rush of Seattle to the seeming peace of the San Juan Islands in this thrilling page-turner. It's only once the detectives come to understand Sandro in life, that they unlock the secret to his death.
