After I'm Buried Alive launches the witty and adventurous Sexy @ 60 Cozy Mystery Series, where age is no barrier to reinvention-or intrigue. Vic Gardner is on the cusp of sixty, unemployed, living in her parents' house. Despite a career in fashion photography, her latest purchase was a Target sweatshirt on sale. There is no lower point. Her loving family thinks her new career is taking care of everyone else-her parents, her nephews, the dogs. . . But when Vic gets a late-night call from her best friend Miranda, everything changes. The next day, Miranda is dead. Purportedly an accident, Vic believes it's murder. Shocked and determined to learn the truth, Vic rushes to Venice, the city of her best memories-and her biggest heartbreaks. From caring for a dying friend during the AIDS crisis to losing the great love of her life, Venice left its imprint on Vic's soul. Now it offers a new role: reluctant sleuth. When Vic stumbles on an ancient statue hidden under Miranda's bed, she realizes she was right, Miranda's death is no accident. Vic loves being right, but was willing to make an exception in this case. Before she catches her breath, Vic is dodging thugs, running into an ex with suspicious motives, and chasing leads that drag her from Venetian canals to Egyptian sands. What's buried in Miranda's past threatens Vic's future-and maybe even her life. With sharp humor and an unexpected touch of glamour, Vic is a heroine who proves sexy isn't just for the young, After I'm Buried Alive is a cozy mystery brimming with heart, history, and just enough menace to keep the pages turning late into the night. Perfect for fans of witty, relucent sleuths, reinvention, and mysteries with international flair.
