Love, Power, Money, Drugs! Human lures and obsessions in all their user-friendly forms are zooming towards St. Frewin's Island, somewhere off the coast of Maine. Public Safety Officer Jane Roberts, a newly appointed "Secret Agent," scrambles to tackle these beasts with good old island panache-possibly illegal, reliably outrageous! When she finds a blood-drenched body, grief and fury embolden her to scour for evidence that only the guilty could shed. During a face-off with the murderers, Officer Jane is counting on a wing and a prayer to skewer them for good. Her bosses, however, have another idea-they're about to let the guilty parties go free! Until, that is, a cell phone starts ringing....

In the midst of a TV interview, Public Safety Officer Jane Roberts comes face to face with a man whose head looks as if it were pulsed on high in a Cuisinart. How could such an attack happen on beautiful St. Frewin's Island off the coast of Maine? On the hunt for her perp, Officer Jane enthusiastically plunges into the local holiday punchbowl, which is brimming with tight lips and deceit. Saucy, defiant, and laser-focused (Ha ha!!), Jane will somehow manage to barge through a mound of hors d'oeuvres and the trappings of authority to unknowingly close in on "Quasi-Whodunit." And shockingly so.

Welcome to Maine! Vacationland! Welcome to St. Frewin's Island, where rookie Officer Jane Roberts must solve the freakish suffocation of a female corpse. The State homicide team ferries over to prop up Jane's efforts. But the island's daily hiccups and Jane's own prickly psyche get in the way. Runaway cows, juvenile clams, and a DIY crematorium are piling up on her blotter. Matrimony baloney clutters her heart. And what about the homicidal disappointments? Everyone's alibi is sounding like a lullaby. Heavy rains have washed away all evidence from the crime scene. Surely there must be blood somewhere? Jane Roberts keeps digging, but she is far from cracking this case...until the killer stops her cold. May you find yourself happily trapped (and laughing!) in LOBSTERS WITHOUT BORDERS.
