Newlyweds Leslie Carlisle and Randy Lassiter have combined Leslie's photo assignment in the Out Islands of the Bahamas with their honeymoon. While waiting on an isolated beach so Leslie can capture the obligatory sunrise shot, they're startled when an airplane screams overhead. Something crashes through the palms above them, and then package after package tumble from the plane. As armed men appear down the beach, Leslie and Randy realize they're in the middle of a drug drop, but manage to escape detection. What was supposed to have been an idyllic time in the Caribbean turns into a nightmare. A friend goes missing, a mysterious yacht anchors in Governor's Harbor, and they encounter a reporter who's on the trail of some international businessmen of a dubious sort. And Hurricane Nikita continues to draw closer by the hour.

Between two demanding careers and a wedding to plan, Randy Lassiter and Leslie Carlisle have a lot going on. But when Dr. J.J. Newell, who's agreed to be best man at their marriage, inexplicably disappears, the dynamic changes. The search for their missing friend soon extends extends past Little Rock, taking them to Hot Springs, Memphis, Helena, and Tunica. What they eventually discover is something far, far beyond what they could have imagined."Just like in his first book, Joe David Rice has come up with a bone-chilling thriller, with prominent central Arkansas landmarks as a backdrop. If this were a Netflix series (and it should be), you'd be binge-watching it right now." Craig O'Neill Arkansas Media Personality"Joe David Rice's A Nasty Way to Die is a gripping mystery novel that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Set in Arkansas, the entwined association of the characters amplifies the intriguing plot." James L. "Skip" Rutherford III Dean, University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service (2006-2021)"If you're a fan of C.J. Box . . . you'll appreciate the Randy Lassiter and Leslie Carlisle mystery series by Joe David Rice.

One you start, you'll not put it down . . . plus the piquant Randy-Leslie relationship alone is worth the read." Jim Dailey Former Mayor of Little Rock
