TV producer and bestselling author Marshall Karp is the mastermind behind this suspenseful and uproariously
funny mystery series. Working on southern California's highest profile homicide cases, detectives Mike Lomax and
Terry Biggs get the job done, bickering and arguing all the way.
Who would want to murder bubbly event planner Jo Drabyak? This charming young lady seemingly had no
enemies. The only lead Lomax and Biggs have to work with is a new business venture Jo had entered into with a group
of fellow officers' wives. They "flip" old houses—renovate them, then sell them for a profit—in conjunction with a
bestselling mystery author who features the property in her latest novel. Now the other wives—including Terry's wife
Marilyn—fear they could be the next target.
Karp's fan-favorite detectives keep the laughs coming, but these two aren't Keystone Cops. Tom Stechschulte
returns for this third installment giving voice to two of the genre's hottest sleuths

      LAPD homicide detectives Michael Lomax and Terry Biggs take on a killer targeting a group of police officers' wives in Karp's irreverent third mystery (after 2007's Bloodthirsty
      ). When spouses of some of Lomax and Biggs's closest co-workers are found murdered, they begin their investigation by questioning the surviving members of the LA Flippers, the partnership of cop wives who, along with popular mystery writer Nora Bannister, have found a lucrative way to flip houses in the highly competitive Southern California real estate market. With the body count rising and pressure from Lomax and Biggs's superiors to close the case fast, the wisecracking duo must somehow track down a cunning psychopath before Biggs's wife becomes the killer's next target. Blending the gritty realism of a Joseph Wambaugh police procedural with the sardonic humor of Janet Evanovich, Karp delivers a treat that's not only laugh-out-loud funny but also remarkably suspenseful.
