Face Down and Very Dead! - Paperback

After many successful, but stressful, years in the corporate business world, Ed and Chris Loving have retired to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina where they have established a wonderful bed and breakfast. This idyllic life style is jolted to its roots when a guest, a nationally known and universally despised business tycoon, is found dead on their property.

It quickly comes to light that during Ed Loving's banking career the victim had a very public and hostile relationship with his innkeeper. Ed is determined to resolve the mystery and preserve his beloved inn's valuable reputation. His less than subtle approach to these matters leaves several other innkeepers, various civic leaders, and the local media utterly exasperated.

The surprising twist of events at the end highlights how real people endure moments of great stress and confrontation with those around them; and ultimately how these fractured relationships and strong emotions could destroy lives.
