Liza Wilcox, kindergarten teacher and amateur sleuth, is at it again. In her third adventure, together with boyfriend, Sheriff Tom Owens, and wheelchair bound cyber-sleuth, Justin Weaver, she discovers the links between her parents' deaths, eco-terrorist groups, an old murder, witness protection, and a professional killer. Liza's computer's latest snafu sends her on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera: the same cruise her parents took before they were killed. While cruising, Liza is overwhelmed by a handsome, mysterius, and wealthy gentleman and the delights of chocolate melting cake. Liza is onboard with several of her mom and dad's old cruising friends, whoa re systematically being eliminated from the passenger list. In the end, Liza travels to a totally unexpected and life-altering place.
