About the Book

Killer Vibes: The First Peter Key Mystery

A wild and wickedly funny series debut, introducing readers to the irresistible and irrepressible private investigator, Peter Key.

Meet Peter Key: self-proclaimed “laziest private investigator in Texas” (it’s harder than it looks), unapologetic bisexual, dedicated stoner and the surprised recipient of a windfall inheritance from an uncle he barely knew. Peter’s life was a mess before, but now --- as the owner of a dilapidated house in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Austin --- he has a mountain of debt to deal with and pressure to sell from every side.

But Peter doesn’t like to be pushed around. And when he discovers a bag full of cash, he starts to suspect his uncle’s death wasn’t an accident. He soon finds himself pulled into a lethal game where not everybody plays by the rules.

Fortunately, Peter’s never been good at following rules.

Sexy, suspenseful and packed with Austin’s quirks, KILLER VIBES is a wild and wickedly funny romp that introduces us to the irresistible and irrepressible PI, Peter Key.
