30-something, single, and struggling to make it as a photographer in New York City, she's smart, tough, and fiercely protective of her friends and her privacy. Lucy wants to meet the right guy, but she's got to be free for a life of travel and adventure, and she finds both in Murder on Naked Beach, the first novel of this sizzling new mystery series.

It's the ugly side of winter in Manhattan and Lucy is itching to escape to a warmer climate. She manages to talk her way onto a press junket to Jamaica to photograph a posh new resort. Once her photo shoot is done, she'll have plenty of time left for windsurfing and catching up with her traveling companions. Instead, Lucy finds one of them dead in the hot tub on the resort's little island, known as Naked Beach. Although everyone claims the writer died of a heart attack, Lucy smells mischief and is determined to find out what really happened. But her curiosity leads her way off Jamaica's beaten tourist path, and straight into danger, drug smuggling, and the bed of an undercover DEA agent.

With Murder on Naked Beach, author J.J. Henderson introduces us to a sassy and sexy new sleuth in this suspenseful and sharply funny novel.
