So when Aunt Kay offers to pay Sherri to ask a few questions about Holly Mitchell's death, it sounds like easy money. But it quickly descends into a dangerous world of drugs, sex workers, and perversion. Did Holly really take the highball exit, or was she murdered And what happened to her baby Set in small beach towns along the western coast of Florida, the Sherri Travis Mysteries follow Sherri Travis, a bartender and ordinary woman caught up in extraordinary situations. A traditional mystery series serving Jack Daniels instead of tea, the stories walk the line between mystery and suspense and include a delicious mix of cocktails, beaches, and murder. In a place where the very rich live next door to the very poor, where tourists come and go, and where newcomers reinvent themselves, all good stories begin with "One night in a bar ..." Highball Exit is the fifth book in the series.

Reviews

"This was truly the most terrifying Sherri story to date." -Nora-Adrienne's Reviews "Highball Exit was my first Phyllis Smallman novel and it certainly won't be my last. In Sherri Travis she has created a sassy, plucky heroine, who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty and ask the questions that need to be asked." ‐Cozy Mystery Book Reviews "Solid entertainment with a shot of tequila: murder, mayhem and sandy beaches." -The Hamilton Spectator
