A moment of transparency for ardent Cozy readers : Dead In Irons includes brief non-graphic peril and moments of intense action; the focus remains on the mystery, community, and clean storytelling. Please enjoy. Sun, sand, sailing. A Caribbean regatta. A floatplane. A discovery that shocks the island. Twin retired military pilots, Jilli and Ky Ryder know the Pirates’ Bounty Regatta is good for business. VIP flights, packed docks, and enough champagne to fill a dinghy provide cover for serious shenanigans. A routine day in paradise puts the Ryder twins in the middle of something deeply sinister. Jilli, Ky, their floatplane named Charlie Tango, and Rowdy, the perfect Chocolate Lab, stumble into a secret the islands’ power brokers don’t intend to share. In Pilots Of The Caribbean: Dead In Irons , author Jeffrey Curtis takes inspiration from the high-stakes, page-turning tension of admired mystery novelists, and blends it with the warm, witty sleuthing of our favorite Cozy Mystery authors to deliver a fun, cozy-adjacent Caribbean caper—sunlit charm on the surface, razor-edged danger underneath. Combine all of that with a pair of determined twins you’ll follow anywhere and you have the recipe for a great read.
