The Trouble with Dead Bodies: A Hale Mary Mystery by Katrina Kyle

Hale Mary isn’t a quitter. Battling a pain-med addiction following a horrific crash, the former world-class snowboarder is desperate to prove she’s every bit as good as her seven sports-hero brothers. But when she turns to agenting after losing her job as a broadcaster, her fresh start goes sour after her promising NFL rookie client is found murdered.

When one of her siblings is fingered for the hit, Hale vows to do whatever it takes to clear his name. But the more she pulls apart a complex web of jealousies and disgruntled teammates, the more she suspects someone has a secret play they’ll do anything to protect.

Can Hale flag the killer before they return to silence the truth?

Welcome to paradise. Where the drinks are strong, the sun is hot, and the secrets are deadly.
Hale Seton is tired of losing. Determined to get her struggling sports management agency off the ground, the disgraced ex-snowboard champion is in Key West, Florida trying to land a deal with local billionaire and boxing afficionado, Ricky Dominica.

But before she can sign on the dotted line, a homeless man turns up dead—on Ricky’s yacht.

When the police finger Ricky’s son for the murder, Hale leaps at the chance to help uncover the truth. When she discovers the victim is the father of an underprivileged local fighter, it isn’t long before she’s entangled in a complex web of corruption and greed.

As Hale is pulled into the search—along with a dirty cop, jealous siblings, and a back-stabbing ex-girlfriend—she finds herself caught between the killer and the truth.
