A DEAD RED CADILLAC

Here’s the set-up:

“I’ve been married so many times, they should revoke my license,” says NY model, and reluctant pilot Lalla Bains.

Running her dad’s Crop-Dusting business in Modesto, California she’s hoping to dodge the inevitable fortieth birthday party. But when her trophy red ’58 Cadillac is found tail-fins up in a nearby lake, the police ask why a widowed piano teacher, who couldn’t possibly see beyond the hood ornament, was found strapped in the driver’s seat.

Reeling from an interrogation with local homicide, Lalla is determined to extricate herself as a suspect in this strange murder case. Unfortunately, drug running pilots, a cross-dressing convict, a crazy Chihuahua, and the dead woman’s hunky nephew throw enough road blocks to keep Lalla neck deep in an investigation that links her family to a twenty-year old murder only she can solve.

From the reviewers:

“… Lalla Bains, pilots us through a murder investigation with more twists and turns than the coast highway and with an ending more satisfying than the purr of a perfectly tuned ’58 Cadillac.”  –Lesley Diehl, Author of A Deadly Draught

“… With its engaging sleuth, R.P. Dahlke’s promising debut, A DEAD RED CADILLAC, will keep you turning those pages… right up to its surprising conclusion.”  –Kris Neri,award winning author of Revenge for Old Time’s Sake

“Fast paced and fun with an outwardly tough but inwardly vulnerable lady-pilot, drug smuggling and plenty of eccentric characters.”
–Rhys Bowen, award-winning author of the Royal Spyness Mysteries.
