Book excerpt: Cotton candy, roller coasters, and murder! A theme park is being run by shadowy underworld forces. Private eye Darby Weston goes undercover to catch a killer at the world's most dangerous thrill park. And ends up going mano a mano with the criminal-in-chief. Expect the unexpected in this groundbreaking murder mystery. It started around midnight, when a security guard took an elevator down into the underground subbasements deep below the massive theme park resort. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw an elf. Elves were the official mascots of the park. But this one was unshaven and mean looking. A short gruff man who seemed more like a burglar than a children's fairy tale character. The guard lit up the elf's whiskery face with a flashlight. "Hey buddy, what are you doing down here?" "Me? You're the one who's not supposed to be down here," the elf sneered. "This is a high security area. As in, Keep out or die!" When the sun came up and the park opened, the tourists spotted that same guard lying face down on the ground, near the park's entrance. He was stone cold dead. And the "elf"? Nowhere to be seen. What the heck was going on? Here's the kind of nightmarish unexplained phenomena that detective Darby and his new partner Carissa run into while investigating the park: A SAMPLE FROM THE BOOK: The Tunnel of Love ride, after the park had closed for the night: [© 2019; Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.] Carissa peered across the room, searching for whatever was making the noise. Where was it coming from? All she could see were the steel tracks of the ride, the artificial bushes, a few stalled sailing ships, the convertible automobile with the two frozen teenagers inside it, a realistic vista of city lights shimmering below on the distant side of the room, the backdrop murals of mountains behind her. And now all she could hear was a spooky silence. It was so quiet, she could practically hear her heart beating. Thump, thump, thump... What had been a pretty exhibit had turned suddenly foreboding and mean. "Let's get out of here," she whispered, not sure if she was just getting paranoid. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a shadow move and she looked up just in time to see a white thing leap out from behind a bush. Carissa would not have believed it if she was not seeing it with her own eyes, this ghostly apparition, like some kind of white furry creature, ape-like in appearance, and as pale as an albino mountain gorilla. Like an abominable snowman, human shaped with a thick coat of polar bear colored hair covering it from foot to head, hellish, angry, and running towards them, attacking, bent on their destruction. Carissa screamed her head off. But that didn't even slow the creature down. [Spoiler: At this park, nothing is what it seems...] This beloved theme park was as American as apple pie. It represented everything noble and good in America. But dark forces had taken over. Supernatural? Alien? Worse? Read it and see. [From the author of the riotous rom-com Hollywood Intern.
