When a politician's daughter is murdered in the Florida panhandle, a small town detective shares the case with an attractive FBI agent. Chief of Police is quite a title given Samuel "Coop" Cooper is the sole detective on the force. It's a pretty easy gig all and all—in fact, there has never been a serious crime in Gulf Front. Until now. When a young woman's body is found on the shore and an abandoned new Cadillac is found nearby, it causes a furor like nothing the town has ever seen. And that's before they've identified her. She turns out to be the daughter of a Louisiana Senator, and with her passing comes the Feds, the mob, and Agent Shelley Brooke. Things are never going to be the same again.

Detective Samuel Cooper, "Coop" to his friends and fellow officers, is the Chief of Police in Gulf Front, Florida, a sleepy little beach town that doesn't see many outsiders. Indeed, "Chief of Police" is a grand title, considering Coop's the only officer on the "force." He's living the quiet life when a call comes out of the blue: Would he take a side job as bodyguard to Cherry Page, the most seductive movie star around? Someone has been sending gruesome threats to Cherry's personal email address, and Coop gets more of a fight than he bargained for when it becomes clear that a maniacal serial killer is on the loose. Snappy, funny, and full of appealing characters, The Cherry Pages is impossible to put down.
