A Casey Quinby Mystery
by Judi Ciance
A Falmouth fishmonger is found dead in one of his lobster tanks. The Medical Examiner determined Rocco Deluca was electrocuted when he slipped, accidentally grabbed a live electrical cord and fell into the tank that was partially filled with water.
Casey Quinby—now Casey Quinby, Private Investigator—is hired by Rocco’s niece to look into his death. Bella Deluca doesn’t think it was an accident. The ‘fish-market-caper’ is Casey’s first case since leaving her position as head investigative reporter for the Cape Cod Tribune.
A classic who dun it—a disgruntle family member, a dissatisfied customer, a complete stranger just passing by—or could it have been a suicide triggered by the loss of his wife. Rocco had made the decision to close the market. Without Rita by his side, his get-up-and-go, got up and left. His life had taken a turn. It was time to retire—but how …. by accidental death …. by suicide …. or by murder.
A tangled web of deceit, secrets and lies. If only the lobsters could talk, what a tale they could tell.

In 1992, my husband, Paul, was activated during Desert Storm. Following his service of five months at the Pentagon in Washington D.C. we moved to our house on the Cape. I went to work in the Superior Courthouse at the Barnstable County Court complex, then for the Barnstable Sheriff’s Office. During that time, I worked in the Drug Partnership Grant program, civil process, in records, wrote policies and procedures and retired as the Assistant Deputy Superintendent of Finance.
In 2006, we moved to Florida where the heat in the summer, beats the snow in the winter. I may have a Florida address now, but my love for Cape Cod and Boston will forever live in my writing.
