A Novel

Carmen has always craved more—a failed actress with a thirst for wealth and glamour she sees her chance aboard a steamer to Mallorca. Enter Jean-Patrique: dangerously charismatic, fiercely intelligent, and harboring a darkness Carmen cannot yet fathom. Drawn together by shared ambition, the two hatch a plan to defraud a wealthy American heiress, setting the stage for a con fueled by greed, lies, and mutual deceit.

But beneath JP’s seductive exterior lies a deeply fractured psyche. His charm masks a calculating, psychopathic nature, and as their scheme twists into chaos, Carmen realizes her partner is as dangerous as he is brilliant. Death and betrayal shadow their every move, culminating in a stunning reckoning on the shores of Italy’s Lake Maggiore.

The first installment in The JP Mysteries, By Accident Most Strange is a gripping psychological thriller that explores greed, obsession, and the thin line between accomplice and victim. In JP’s world, the only certainty is that nothing—and no one—is ever what it seems. Coming soon.
