Bestselling author Sherry Harris gives us the latest in a new cozy mystery series featuring a bartender sleuth in the tiny town of Emerald Cove, Florida.
Chloe Jackson runs a saloon in Emerald Cove, Florida—and she also happens to be an expert at putting people behind bars . . .

LAST CALL

The Florida Panhandle Barback Games are coming up and Chloe's been drafted to represent the Sea Glass Saloon—competing in various obstacle-course events that conclude with rolling an empty keg up a hill. The rivalries are so fierce that some of the participating bars even stoop to bringing in ringers.

Meanwhile, Chloe's friend Ann—a descendant of the famed pirate Jean Lafitte—asks her to come along for a boat ride as Ann dives into the Gulf of Mexico. She's found some old papers that may identify the location of sunken treasure. Instead, she finds a sunken body—of one of the ringers hired for the Barback Games. Now that murder is in the mix, Chloe has to figure out whether one of the competitors went overboard . . .

      A Florida bartender's sense of obligation and adventurous spirit lead her into danger. Chloe Jackson, part owner of the Sea Glass Saloon in Emerald Cove, knows she's in trouble when her partner, Vivi Slidell, and head bartender Joaqu�n Diaz greet her with a done deal she's certain to dislike: They've signed her up to represent the Sea Glass in the Florida Panhandle Barback Games, an obstacle-course race involving drinks. It'll be a piece of cake, they claim, even though her competition includes ringers like Olympic athlete Jean Claude LaPierre and Hollywood stuntwoman Lisa Kelley. All this information comes from Ann Williams, a friend and local fixer who's about to get Chloe in big trouble. Ann's right-hand man, Dex, helpfully takes Chloe on a tour of local bars to see the competition, which also includes champion surfer Enrique Laurier, a chick magnet who may have roofied Chloe's drink while she was talking to him. Meanwhile, Ann confides in Chloe that she's found a treasure map and needs someone to accompany her while she does some exploratory diving. Unfortunately, the only treasure Ann finds is Enrique's dead body, making them suspects in his murder. Vivi gets Chloe a lawyer who tells her to keep quiet despite the good relationship she's always enjoyed with the police. When Ann announces her intent to continue her treasure hunt, Chloe agrees to help despite her misgivings and the need to hide things from her boyfriend, Rip Barnett. The partnership will put them both in danger from people willing to kill to seize the treasure. A fun read whose adventure and romance outshine the mystery.
