The Little Death

The Little Death

The latest Louis Kincaid thriller on sale now!

Most people would kill to live in glamorous Palm Beach, with its five-star resorts and multi-million dollar mansions. But most people don't know what really goes on in the bedrooms of the rich and famous. Mark Durand did—and now the handsome high class "walker," who escorted wealthy woman to posh affairs, is dead, his beheaded corpse found in abandoned cattle pen west of Palm Beach.

Private detective Louis Kincaid agrees to help prime suspect Reggie Kent, an aging male walker who may or may not have been the victim's lover. Kincaid uncovers shocking truths about a powerful woman senator, a silver-tongued dowager with a taste for gossip and a seductive socialite who tries to lure Kincaid into her bed by whispering three little words: "Die with me."
