Mosquito Bite Murder

About the book

In her career as a spy, Merry Wrath has had her fair share of camping adventures—from glamorous camping in a yurt at Oktoberfest with drug lord Carlos the Armadillo to a cringeworthy team building campout in the backyard of a Yakuza mob boss who believed in deadly "trust falls." So when the ex-CIA agent turned Girl Scout troop leader gets the chance to lead six girls from her troop on a quest to find an abandoned scout camp in a vast, private nature reserve, she jumps at the opportunity. And the fact that she can also use this as a covert meeting with another spy who needs her help is just a bonus.

However, Merry never expects to stumble upon a man named Chad in a makeshift grave. Surprisingly, he's still breathing and insists on joining them deeper into the wilderness. With her contact missing, a more dangerous colleague appearing unexpectedly, and a group of hostile senior citizen hermits blocking their path, Merry finds herself in a whirlwind of bizarre occurrences.

From eerie nocturnal sounds to blood-sucking vampire ticks and the constant threat of Communist infiltration, Merry's reality seems to be spiraling out of control. And when she crosses paths with a massive snapping turtle named Old Eisenhower, Merry realizes that nothing is as it seems. Can she unravel the mystery behind these strange events before the camping trip turns into a deadly expedition?
