Alligator Hunt

An empty stretch of swampy river, and a silent and merciless death.

Margo Fontaine, Private Detective, steps into the crowded ballroom and admires the beautiful Half Moon Bay crowd that has been invited to the opening of Vinnie Chauvin's new Art Gallery. As the champagne flows freely and a violent thunderstorm bears down on the party, the bleeding corpse of the host is discovered out on the balcony, soaking under the pouring rain.

     With Sheriff Sam Stark missing, and the murderer on the loose, Margo has no choice but to take matters into her own hands to discover whodunit and why.

Before long, Margo finds herself chasing clues all over the pretty seaside town. Vinnie Chauvin, the victim, wasn't an honest man, nor was he an honest art dealer. As she slowly uncovers his dubious past, she realizes that the truth about his murder lies far away in the forest lands, deep in the heart of Louisiana, where a treasure-trove of Native American artifacts is fiercely protected by one brave woman who's willing to die to keep its location secret.

     But when Margo joins an expedition to escort the young woman through the wilds of the Louisiana swamplands to safety, she is confronted by a new menace. Not only is the murderer following them, hidden by the deepest wilderness, but a silent killer slithers in their wake: an ancient and enormous alligator, with a hunger for human flesh. Now it has become a matter of who will get to her first, the invisible killer, or the enormous alligator, who will never stop stalking them, until one of them becomes its next prey.

     Follow Margo Fontaine and her cats in her Murder Mystery Series in the land of swamps, alligators, haunted hotels, and plantation homes, where well-kept secrets and the stories of old Southern families will conspire to keep you reading into the night.
