SHE SWORE SHEâ€™D NEVER GO BACKâ€”BUT ORANGE IS HER NEW BLACKâ€”
â€œDONâ€™T MISS HER!â€ --JANET EVANOVICH
This has to be said right up front: BAD MOON ON THE RISE features the all-time best ever laugh-out-loud prison break! Seriously, if anybody else tried this, theyâ€™d end up on Americaâ€™s Dumbest Criminals, for sure. But with author Katy Mungerâ€™s trademark blend of nail-biting suspense and hilarity, Casey Jones gets her man, as always â€“ and, as always, heâ€™s the hottest guy in the bar.

In this rip-roaring romp of a mystery, big, badass smart-mouthed Casey, the hard-boiled female PI with the thunder thighs and the bunny-soft heart, suddenly finds herself out of her familiar Durham hood and following a trail to a North Carolina prison town. Sheâ€™s looking for a basketball star whoâ€™s spent his young life taking care of his drug-addicted mother, and now theyâ€™ve both dropped off the radar.

Armed with a suitcase full of Little Debbie cakes to tide him over, her rotund semi-boss, private investigator Bobby D, accompanies her up the mountain to provide back-up for her â€“ and entertainment for the reader. Under assumed names â€“ Bobby assigns Casey the identity of â€œDebbie Littleâ€ â€“ they set up headquarters in a floral-frumped Victorian B&B whose patrons are scandalized by Caseyâ€™s walk of shame after a historically rowdy night with the handsome stranger she met in the local bar â€“ who turns out to be the sheriff!

Caseyâ€™s new squeeze is disturbed by suspicious goings-on in the prison, where the boyâ€™s mom once served time, and offers to help Casey get inside to get information on her in exchange for whatever she can learn about his investigation. And just like that, Casey decides not to be controlled by her past â€“ a past that includes eighteen months in a Florida prison when she took rap for her drug dealer husband. She decides to place her trust in the good mountain man whoâ€™s asked for her help and to do the hardest thing she can imagine: agree to be locked up for a week inside a prison once again.
Can this be our Casey? The one whoâ€™s done being dumb about men? Before itâ€™s all over, she will learn a few lessons about who her true friends are, settle several old scores, lay some fears to rest, and give up the shameful secret sheâ€™s never shared with any man: her prison record. What could this mean? Has she finally found a man she can trust, or is she just finally backed into a corner that the usual lies of omission canâ€™t cover?

BAD MOON ON THE RISE will delight fans of female sleuth mysteriesâ€”especially private eyes like Sue Graftonâ€™s Kinsey Millhone, Sara Paretskyâ€™s V.I. Warshawski, Laura Lippmanâ€™s Tess Monaghan, Marcia Mullerâ€™s Sharon McCone, and Janet Evanovichâ€™s Stephanie Plum, as well as their tough and witty male antecedents, Philip Marlowe, Spenser, and, of course, the immortal Nero Wolfe and his buddy Archie, to whom Bobby D. and Casey bear more than a passing resemblance.
