![]() | The Cactus Club Killings (1999) (The first book in the Joe Portugal series) A novel by Nathan Walpow |
In a city of fast cars and movie stars, these folks are crazy about cacti. Until a killer joins the club . . .
Joe Portugal likes people. But he likes plants better. That's why the former theater actor turned small-time L.A. commercial star is a prominent member of the Culver City Cactus Club. Unfortunately, so is a killer.
The club's president is dead-a poison succulent lodged into her mouth. With a father who knows a thing or two about murder, and police breathing down his neck, Joe can recognize a jam when he sees one. But when he begins searching through a colorful cast of plant lovers, plant dealers, and even international plant smugglers, he doesn't find the answers he needs. Meanwhile, the killer has struck again, working his way through the Cactus Club with a garden variety motive-and a very green thumb-for murder. . . .
Includes The Joe Portugal Guide to Botanical Nomenclature
Genre: Mystery
