"Shay O'Hanlon can't say no to a friend in trouble--even a pain-in-the-ass one like her old buddy Baz. One miserable night, he comes to her with a story of mayhem, murder and a purloined toy snake. Bad guys want the snake, and Shay realizes that the mysterious toy holds the key to some serious malfeasance. When more of her friends become endangered, Shay has no choice but to find the snake before the criminals sink their fangs into everybody she knows. The trail slithers down to New Orleans, where the street performers know more than everybody else, but where success only leads to deeper mystery--and more danger. Back in Minneapolis, new helpers enter the picture, but are they true, or do they speak with forked tongues? Jessie Chandler doesn't just write twists in this novel, she writes twists within twists. Scaly thugs, venomous crime bosses, and the mingled scents of jasmine and gunsmoke constrict tighter and tighter around tenacious Shay as she follows the mystery to its surprising conclusion. Hide and Snake Murder is a unique story of zany friendship, tentative romance, and the deadly face of today's underworld."--Elizabeth Sims, author of The Rita Farmer Mysteries and The Lillian Byrd Crime Series

Book two in the riotous caper series starring Shay O'Hanlon and her trouble-prone pals

When Shay O'Hanlon's ill-mannered friend Baz steals a stuffed snake from a wealthy businessman, he wasn't expecting it to be filled with money. Nor was he expecting his aunt Agnes to take it with her on vacation to the Big Easy.

With trigger-happy thugs in hot pursuit, Shay leads her friends on a rowdy rescue mission from Minneapolis to New Orleans and back. Along the way, a bungled burglary puts the gang in a drug cartel's cross hairs, and a beautiful professor offers the only way out. But can Shay and the gang trust her with their lives?
