Saving Tuna Street

A Blanche Murninghan Mystery

Beschreibung

Blanche "Bang" Murninghan is a part-time journalist with writer’s block and a penchant for walking the beach on her beloved Santa Maria Island. When land-grabbing tycoons arrive from Chicago and threaten to buy up Tuna Street, including her beachfront cottage, her seemingly idyllic life begins to unravel. Blanche finds herself in a tailspin, flabbergasted that so many things can go so wrong, so fast. When her dear friend is found murdered in the parking lot of the marina, Blanche begins digging into his death. With her friends Liza and Hassi by her side, she stumbles into a pit of greed, murder, drug running, and kidnapping. Blanche has survived her fair share of storms on Santa Maria Island, but this one might just be her last.

Autor

Nancy Nau Sullivan began writing wavy lines at age six, thinking it was the beginning of her first novel. It wasn't. But she didn't stop writing, letters at first, then eight years of newspaper work in high school and college, in editorial posts at New York magazines, and for newspapers throughout the Midwest. She has a master's in journalism from Marquette University. Nancy grew up outside Chicago but often visited Anna Maria Island, Florida. She returned there with her family and wrote an award-winning memoir THE LAST CADILLAC (Walrus 2016) about the years she cared for her father while the kids were still at home--a harrowing adventure of travel, health issues, adolescent angst, with a hurricane thrown in for good measure. She went back to the setting for the first in her mystery series, SAVING TUNA STREET, creating the fictional Santa Maria Island where Blanche "Bang" Murninghan fends off drug-running land grabbers and solves the murder of her friend with the help of her Native American accomplice, Haasi. Blanche has feet of sand and will be off to Mexico, Argentina, and Spain for further mayhem in the series. But she always returns to Santa Maria Island. Nancy, for the most part, lives in Northwest Indiana. Find her at www.nancynausullivan.com, on Facebook, and Twitter @NauSullivan.
