When world-famous singer and TV star Loretta Lafayette boarded a lavish Caribbean cruise, she expected sunshine, cocktails and calm seas, not a front-row seat to homicide. But when a spoiled, sharp-tongued heiress is found dead by the pool at dawn, Loretta’s vacation goes overboard.

With the ship stuck mid-voyage and the security team floundering, Loretta teams up with her quirky friend Alistair, his quick-witted niece Amy and Chester the emotional-support dog, whose uncanny ability to sniff out clues, beats any ship’s radar.

As a flirtatious ship entertainer, betrayed friends and a charming crew member drift onto the suspect list, the trio discovers a conspiracy, someone would kill to keep buried.

But when the investigation hits rough seas and someone close to Loretta is put in danger, this cruise turns into a race against time… Because the killer is still on board, and the final port may come too late.
