About the Book

The Murders on Cayo Costa is a thriller, a romance, and an adventure story set in the Florida Keys, in the Everglades, and on a magnificent barrier island in the Calusa Blueway near Sanibel and Captiva. Eighteen campers settle into their primitive cabins and, within twenty-four hours, a killing spree begins. The redoubtable Detective Gabriel Ortillo struggles to understand both the mayhem and absent-minded senior sleuth, Libera Grimaldi. He is smitten! But is she a victim or a killer? Kayaking, biking, and hiking, the campers discover prime tarpon fishing, crimes against manatees, and the island's historic past, unaware of a stalker among them. Their separate preoccupations with spectacular sunsets, leaping mullet, scurrying armadillos, wild pigs, and phosphorescent insects blind them to imminent danger. In solving this elegant and playful mystery, pay attention not only to the psychology of a determined killer, but also to the possible relevance of details such as cockpit widths and spray skirts, tram and ferry schedules, restroom layouts, the lunar cycle, and centipede tracks.
About the Author: Elia Chepaitis is an avid kayaker who lives in the Florida Keys, Maine, and Connecticut. She is a professor emeritus of computer information systems, the recipient of three Fulbright fellowships to Russia and Morocco, a prize-winning poet and novelist, and a former columnist for the New Haven Register. She invented and patented an intuitive easy-to-read alternative to Braille developed by a public service corporation, Elia Life Technology- before turning to a life of crime. Most of the Murders on Cayo Costa was written by artificial light, in cabins on the island, a Florida State Park. A previous novel, Murders with Kayaks in the Florida Keys, was a finalist in the nation-wide Key West Mystery Writers Whodunit contest. Poppy Tears, a historic novel about opium and children in Victorian England will be released in mid-2018.
