Lefty Award Nominee for Best Humorous Novel! "Drowned Under is laugh-out-loud funny. With its finely tuned timing and zany, emotional protagonist, this novel puts Thomas in a class with Carl Hiassen and Janet Evanovitch." -Nancy Tingley, Lefty-nominated author of the Jenna Murphy Mysteries When travel agent Cyd Redondo's client and Jack the Ripper expert Shep Helnikov is found dead in London, she navigates the cutthroat worlds of research librarians, unemployed actors, rodent smugglers and more to find his killer and bring his body back home . . . When one of her clients is found dead in London, Cyd Redondo is on the hook for thirty thousand dollars to return his body home. So when his university offers to cover the costs if she'll go in person to collect him-and his Ripper research-she jumps at the chance. But no sooner does Cyd arrive in London than Shep's death by natural causes starts to look most unnatural. Cyd's only hope for recovering the body and vamoosing back to Brooklyn is to find the killer herself-but she's thwarted at every turn by Scotland Yard, Shep's former girlfriends, a sinister mortuary service, an old nemesis, and her taxidermist uncle. And when Shep's apartment is ransacked and a second Ripper expert is found murdered, Cyd knows she'll have to solve the crimes fast, before someone books her on a one-way trip to the morgue . . . "Cyd's Balenciaga bag deserves to become as legendary as Sherlock Holmes's deerstalker and magnifying glass." -James W.
