When Rusty Steele's troubled college roommate disappeared during Christmas break her freshman year, no one but Rusty even noticed. Years later, in 1987, divorced from her wealthy lawyer husband and needing a job, she partners with Mike Flynt in a struggling private detective agency. When her now homeless and helpless friend is charged with murder on an island off the Maine coast, Rusty and Mike discover there is much more to an "open-and-shut case" than anyone anticipated. Will they acknowledge their mutual attraction? Can they navigate deadly waters, survive unseen dangers and, with the help of the eccentric islanders, bring justice to the victims of a long-buried evil conspiracy?

"This expertly-plotted, twisty, character-driven novel is one you'll remember long after you've turned the last page."

Kait Carson, author of the Hayden Kent mysteries

"[Sanford Emerson is] a fine writer . . . as entertaining as all get out. [Flynt and Steele is] leavened with humor and insight into life in rural Maine."

Advance Praise for Well, Hell:

"Emerson's wild and crazy stories of Bobby Wing's adventures both entertain and enlighten. From the transfer station to the ski area, from the denizens of the Community of Satin to the endless discoveries of Marti the mail carrier, Emerson's Bobby Wing reveals the "other Maine" while making his reader laugh aloud. A perfect book for cozy fall reading, or a perfect gift for Mainers or Maine lovers."

Kate Flora, author of Finding Amy, A Good Man with a Dog
and the Thea Kozak and Joe Burgess Mysteries

Bobby's "yarns" are humorous stories of murder, romance, mystery, redemption, adventure, reluctant derring-do and the wages of sin. They run the gamut from a severed head to a body on a ski lift with plenty of local color in between.
