Nobody talks to the cops. Everybody talks to the bartender.

And Avalon Nash is a hell of a bartender.

On a cool June night at the Battened Hatch, Avalon is the last to see an Olympic medalist before his mysterious demise. Her superpower is collecting people's stories, and she soon discovers that the medalist's death connects to an unsolved kidnap/murder of a teenager 20 years before-and the perp is looking to silence anyone getting close to the truth.

As Avalon settles into her new home in the Olympic village of Tranquility, New York, can she solve the devastating murders, figure out who is worth trusting, and start to be vulnerable again-while tracking and outwitting a murderer?

The second book in the Bartender's Guide to Murder series offers scares, humor, and 30 more of the best drink recipes ever imbibed.
