A novel by

 
 
Six months into witness protection in Bitter End, Florida, Piper Harris and her Gran have almost gotten used to retirement complex life.

Almost.

Sure, the residents are still quirky. The activities are still questionable. And Piper still misses the days when her biggest problem was outrunning bikers instead of surviving dance night.

But when Bitter End hosts an Elvis convention, things spiral to a whole new level of chaos. Suddenly the town is crawling with Elvis impersonators. Vegas Elvis. Sequined-jumpsuit Elvis. Hip-shaking Elvis. Too-much-hairspray Elvis.

Piper and Gran have survived biker gangs, gunfights, and federal prosecutors. But this convention? This might finally break them.

And then things get worse: a priceless Elvis belt covered in gemstones disappears, and one of the Elvises winds up dead.

To top it off, Piper can’t shake the feeling that Gran might know more about the missing belt than she’s letting on.

As in . . . did she take it?

Also complicating matters: Piper recently started dating Ryker. Who is also running his own investigation.
Can you spell
blown witness protection cover?

Now Piper, Gran, and their mischief-loving neighbor Edie are once again knee-deep in a case. One thing’s certain—between interrogating rhinestone-clad suspects, navigating the growing Elvis population, and a possibly guilty grandmother, this case is going to be trouble.

Jailhouse kind of trouble.

Dead Ringer is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, Gemma Halliday, Liliana Hart, and JB Lynn.

Note: the current release date is a placeholder. The book will be published by summer 2026 at the latest.
