Witty and stylish in the classic Dashiell Hammett tradition, Michael
Murphy’s latest high-flying Jake & Laura mystery features a Hawaiian
honeymoon that’s interrupted when their friend Amelia Earhart is
accused of murder. Hawaii, 1935. Mystery novelist Jake Donovan and
actress Laura Wilson are in gorgeous sun-soaked Hawaii, but their
best-laid plans for canoodling on the beach are interrupted by a
summons from famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart. It seems a local
businessman has been gunned down next to her plane. In just days, the
famous pilot intends to fly from Honolulu to Los Angeles, making
aviation history over the Pacific. But now, without Jake and Laura’s
help, Earhart’s flight might never take off. Trailing a killer,
the newlyweds’ sleuthing leads to a jealous pilot, a cigar-chomping
female officer of the “Royalist Militia,” and a notoriously
disagreeable lieutenant colonel named Patton. With a sinister killer
lurking in the shadows, it’s safe to say the honeymoon is over . . .
and the danger has just begun. Praise for Wings in the Dark “Wow!
. . . An enthralling mystery with strong characters, a complex plot
and a fantastic ending tying things together superbly . . . I have no
hesitation in highly recommending it to anyone who enjoys thrillers
and mysteries!”—Splashes Into Books “The third installment in
Murphy’s series is just as much fun as the first. The mystery is
full of twists with an ample amount of red herrings, suspects, and
action.”—Mystery Please! “Jake and Laura are a really
engaging crime-fighting couple.”—It Takes a Woman “I heartily
recommend the Jake & Laura mysteries, and this book specifically, if
you like cozy mysteries that have a flair for the dramatic, a great
sense of style, and an epic amount of witty banter. Goes well with
fresh-caught seafood, grilled over an open fire on the beach, and
drinks served in coconut shells.”—Bibliotica Praise for Michael
Murphy’s Jake & Laura mysteries “Glittering with a hint of Nick
and Nora, Michael Murphy’s 1930s Manhattan provides a witty setting
for murder and mayhem.”—Mary Daheim, bestselling author of The
Alpine Yeoman, on The Yankee Club “[Jake and Laura] are fun,
witty, and charming, and [All That Glitters] is filled with the same
kind of 1930s Hollywood glamour that made the film of The Thin Man
such a classic.”—Popcorn Reads
