Spies, Shenanigans, & Gators
(2026)(The tenth book in the Parker Bell Florida Humorous Mystery series)
A novel by Sharon E Buck
Parker Bell escaped her tiny hometown of Po'thole, Florida, built a cybersecurity empire, and became a bestselling true crime author. She thought she'd left small-town chaos behind.
She was wrong.
Ever since Parker came home, Po'thole has racked up more murders than a town its size has any business seeing—and somehow, she and her ride-or-die crew of caffeine-and-sugar-infused football-obsessed Lady Gatorettesd keep ending up in the middle of it.
This time, it's a kidnapping.
The Gators' offensive coordinator has vanished off Highway 100—and the prime suspects are currently sitting in Parker's kitchen, eating her doughnuts and dodging her questions.
When the coach shows up hours later with no memory of where he's been, Parker realizes this isn't just a prank gone wrong. A mysterious Russian woman with ties to an international company—and a suspiciously vague "perfume business" called Scents Without Borders—is targeting college football teams with chemical sprays. And Po'thole just became ground zero.
Parker's cybersecurity instincts are screaming. This isn't small-town mischief anymore.
With one Lady Gatorette who thinks she's a Navy SEAL, another who out-strategized the Marines with a hoverboard, and a third whose marriage memoir outsold everyone's expectations, Parker's "quiet" life is about to get a whole lot louder.
Sharp, hilarious, and stuffed with Southern attitude, sweet tea sarcasm, and gator-sized trouble—this is cozy mystery for readers who like their crime solved with a side of coffee, doughnuts, and a whole lot of sass.
