“When the music stops in Scottsdale, someone always ends up dead.”

Scottsdale Shuffle drops private investigator Cameron Chandler into the glitzy chaos of Arizona’s music and dance scene—where fame, fortune, and foul play are just a beat away. When a local dance studio’s star performer mysteriously collapses during a live performance, the city is left shaken. Was it exhaustion, a health condition... or murder?

Hired by the studio’s frantic owner, Chandler begins a deep dive into the performer’s glamorous but high-pressure life. The deeper she goes, the more she uncovers: jealous competitors, secret liaisons, blackmail threats, and a tangled network of clients and instructors who all had something to lose—or gain—from the dancer’s demise.

Between dance-offs, dodgy contracts, and the pulsing energy of Scottsdale’s performance circuit, Chandler keeps her cool, asking the hard questions others won’t dare. And when the next body turns up, she knows she’s running out of time—and suspects.

With her signature sharp wit, relentless drive, and eye for detail, Chandler shuffles through a long list of secrets that threaten to pull her into a dangerous game of deception. In a town where appearances are everything and rhythm hides the truth, she must figure out who’s dancing with death—and who’s just pretending.

A smart, sassy, and suspenseful mystery, Scottsdale Shuffle is the perfect read for fans of bold female detectives and tightly-woven whodunits.
