Emerald Coast

Honest Lizzie Borden has never in her life taken a thing that didn’t belong to her. But now the Florida swamp girl/budding rock star (robbed of her music by a record company) has two million dollars, a dead mobster, a live amateur mobster who wants his money back, a detective she’s falling for—and a chance to get her music back. On Florida’s beautiful—and bizarre—Emerald Coast, anything can happen. Especially the things you don’t want.

Foreword Reviews said, "From its gripping opening paragraph on, the story skates along, full of dense, rich language reminiscent of Florida’s Emerald Coast itself. Scenes are set with a thick atmosphere of weathered words, and the book’s narration and vocabulary are edgy and fun, with raunchiness and innuendo. Characters are intensely inhabited."

Publishers Weekly said of Guillebeau's last book, MAD Librarian, "Guillebeau blends humor and mystery perfectly."
