Books with title You Only Die Twice

(BRITT MONTERO SERIES) The nude corpse of a beautiful woman washes up on a pristine beach in Miami. The problem is that the victim, Kaithlin Jordan, was murdered ten years ago. And her convicted killer - her husband, R.J. - sits on death row, just weeks away from his execution. Newspaper reporter Britt Montero recalls the high-profile murder trial. Even without a body, the prosecution's case against R.J. seemed airtight. Now R.J. is preparing to walk and Britt is energized once more by a slew of questions that suddenly need answers. Did Kaithlin frame her husband for murder - or did she simply efficiently flee an abusive marriage? And why, after successfully reinventing herself, had she returned to South Florida, only to meet a very bad end in deep turquoise water?

Quentin Blake's drawings have been entertaining children and their parents for as long as any of us can remember, but this is the first time he has illustrated a book specifically for his own generation. Characteristically, it's humane and extremely funny at the same time, and if you are sixty or over or even thinking about it, this book is required reading.

The perfect, nude corpse of a beautiful woman washes up on a perfect Miami Beach - her body tanned and shapely, her nails elegantly manicured. The problem is the victim, Kaithlin Jordan, was supposedly murdered ten years ago. And her convicted killer - her husband, R.J. Jordan, scion of a wealthy and powerful South Florida family - sits on Death Row, just weeks from his execution. Newspaper reporter Britt Montero recalls the high-profile murder trial that heated up a volatile tropical city like a merciless August sun. Even without a body, the prosecution's case against Jordan seemed airtight and the jury enthusiastically bought into it. Now R.J. is preparing to walk - benefiting from the murderous "largess" of whomever drowned his wife off Miami Beach - and Britt's boundlessly curious nature is energized once more by a slew of questions that suddenly need answers. Did Kaithlin frame her husband for murder - or had she simply efficiently fled an abusive marriage? And why, after successfully reinventing herself, had she returned to South Florida, only to meet a very bad end in deep turquoise water? Impulsive and explosive, with a turbulent love life and a unique, highly charged relationship with this singular metropolis erected between swamp and sea, Britt is only truly happy when she's involved in a juicy death story. And this one has the right smell and feel . . .and threat. Because somewhere in the tangle of an enigmatic beauty's bizarre life and even stranger rebirth - somewhere between the sparkling gold coast glamour and flashing neon sleaze - are secret passions and buried solutions that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks. After all, this is Miami, where anything is possible . . . even dying twice.

What was the nude, recently slain body of Kaithlin Jordan doing spoiling the pristine turquoise waters of Miami Beach - especially when the dead socialite's convicted killer husband is sitting on Death Row for having murdered her...ten years ago! Reporter Britt Montero lives for this kind of story. But she may die for this one as well. Because each question raises many others - and every hard-won answer reveals secret passions and explosive truths that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks.
