Synopsis

A cryptic murder. A complete lack of suspects. Can our psychic sleuth find a lead or is she spinning her wheels?

Mitzy Moon is brimming with excitement. Planning an anniversary surprise, she’s working overtime to hide the details of a luxurious European vacation from her husband. But before she can book a single ticket, a shockingly suspicious murder lands in her lap.

With only a flimsy lead, Mitzy heads undercover into the local roller derby league. And though she rallies her entitled feline and meddling Ghost-ma to help hunt down clues, she fears if she can’t break out of the pack, this bout will turn deadly.

Can Mitzy find the killer, or will this be her final lap around the track?

Wheels and Dirty Deals is the sixth book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Harper and Moon Investigations, a spinoff from the popular Mitzy Moon Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s twisty mystery.

Excerpt

“Looks like you have something on your mind, Harper.”

He laughs lightly. “Never try to fool a psychic. That’s what they tell me, anyway. I just came from Myrtle’s Diner, and Odell said that they’ve added two roller derby teams from Pin Cherry Harbor to the Northwoods League.”

Ghost-ma rips across the bookshop and straight through Erick, sending ghost chills down both of his arms.

“Grams! Take it easy.”

“Oh dear! Tell him I’m sorry. I got so excited! You know I used to play, right?”

“Grams is sorry, and thrilled, and wants to remind us all she used to be a derby girl.”

Erick nods. “Oh, Odell told me some stories. Apparently, Tipsy Kitty was the fastest jammer in the league.”

Isadora hoots with laughter and pride.

My jaw hangs as slack as the waistband on a pair of pants in an “after” photo. “What the heck is a jammer?”

My patient husband nods with understanding. “I got a quick tutorial from Odell. Here’s what I know. There are six skaters on the track for each team. Four of them are blockers. One is the pivot and one skater from each team wears a fabric cover with a star — called ‘panties’ — on their helmet. Those are the jammers.”

“Whoa. Whoa.” My non-athletic head is spinning. “Jammers? Panties? Blockers?”

“You know how it is, Moon. Every sport has its lingo. The point is the jammers have to get past the blockers and make as many laps around the track as they can in two minutes.”

“The game only lasts two minutes? Sounds like the most foolish sport in history.”

“No. No. That’s just one jam. They play for ninety minutes with—”

A loud, bored exhale escapes my lips. “Give it up, Harper. You’ve lost me already. If I can’t see it in action, I can’t follow.”

An amused expression softens his firm jaw. “Good news. The local league team is skating an exhibition bout tonight in the gymnasium at the community college. Should I get tickets?”

Unable to erase the image of Cameron Diaz in Charlie’s Angels, I instantly respond, “I love tickets.”
