Cherry Pages

A small-town Florida cop finds big trouble when he becomes a seductive movie star’s bodyguard in this clever mystery from the author of Hot Shot.

Det. Samuel Cooper, known as “Coop” to his friends, is the chief of police in Gulf Front, Florida, a sleepy little beach town that doesn’t see many outsiders. Indeed, “chief of police” is a grand title, considering Coop’s the only officer on the “force.”

Then, out of the blue, he gets offered an intriguing side gig as bodyguard to the movie star Cherry Page. Cherry will be shooting on location in Atlanta, and someone’s been sending twisted threats to her personal email. Coop is surprised when his girlfriend Penny encourages him to take the job with the famous femme fatale. But he gets more drama than he bargained for when the celebrity stalker turns out to be a serial killer who follows Coop and Cherry back to Gulf Front.
