A Dead Red Cadillac (The Dead Red Mystery Series, Book 1)

A deeply buried and deadly secret resurface with a drowned Cadillac

When Lalla Bainsâ€™ trophy red Caddy is discovered tail-fins up in a local lake, police ask why a widowed piano teacher, who couldnâ€™t possibly see beyond the hood ornament, is found strapped in the driverâ€™s seat.
As Lalla will soon discover, thereâ€™s a shocking link between the drowned woman, her beloved father and an escaped felon--all of which will tear apart her comfortable life and bring her family into the cross-hairs of a killer.

"Wise-cracking detectives--from the rank amateurs who somehow stumble into the practice of investigating, to the licensed professionals with their fancy gizmos and snazzy Yellow Pages listings--are a dime a dozen in mystery novels... but a wise-cracking, ex-fashion-model, crop-dusting sleuth? That puts a quirky new spin on the genre, in R.P. Dahlkeâ€™s peppy debut, A Dead Red Cadillac. A Dead Red Cadillac may be Dahlkeâ€™s first published work, but it doesnâ€™t read that way; the author is assured in her storytelling, crafting a witty, breezy, and thoroughly-entertaining lark peppered with interesting characters in a unique setting... and even tossing in some (much-appreciated) surprising twists along the way."
