"No dogs or turtles were harmed during the production of this film."
So claims C.J. Beck on the film trailer for his latest novel SIXTEEN STORIES, NO PETS. Activists who want pets to be allowed in condos are watching closely.
On his earlier novel SIZZLE, the Tribune's Group Hi-Riser says -
" Compelling characters...loads of adventure, evoking tears and laughter simultaneously."
After losing his business to a bank, John Power settles for a low-paying job as supervisor of a seaside condo. Then the mysterious death of a condo commando shatters the setup.
There are too many suspects for the police to move fast, Power has to track down the killer or killers before any more of his neighbors get killed.
Dogging Power are tyrannical condo directors, the bank president who stole his business, the cops, and a bizarre line-up of Florida's usual suspects - the dead woman's missing ex-quarterback husband; the pervert decorator they hired; the drop dead gorgeous Casino Boat Queen trying to develop the beach lot next door and her muscular blackjack dealers; pop idol pedicab riders; and the condo's screwball inmates.
Fast-paced and ingeniously plotted like Becks two earlier novels SIZZLE and SPIKED SIXTEEN STORIES, NO PETS is a crime thriller and insider's stealth masterclass in condo survival. Watch the film trailer now http://www.youtube.com/
