Beautiful, Rich and Dead

By C. D. Moulton

Lavonne Kershwin was successful, with two platinum albums, a house on the ocean, a couple of expensive cars, a yacht, and all the other things anyone of her psychology could want.
Except friends.
She had hangers-on and business acquaintances, agents, and fans.
She was not the type to be murdered. Smacked so hard her teeth rattled, but not murdered.
Was she? They couldn't explain her death in any other way that would survive investigation. There were things that said it wasn't suicide or accident.
There didn't seem to be anything that said ... anything.

About the author

CD was born in Lakeland, Florida, in 1938. He is educated in genetics and botany. He has traveled over much of the world, particularly when he was in music as a rock rhythm guitarist with some well-known bands in the late sixties and early seventies. He has worked as a high steel worker and as a longshoreman, clerk, orchidist, bar owner, salvage yard manager and landscaper – among other things.

CD began writing fiction in 1984 and has more than 300 books published as of 3/15/16 in SciFi, murder, orchid culture and various other fields.

He now resides in Puerto Armuelles David and Gualaca, Chiriqui, Panamá, where he continues  research into epiphytic plants and plays music with friends. He loves the culture of the indigenous people and counts a majority of his closer friends among that group. Several have adopted him as their father. He funds those he can afford through the universities where they have all excelled. The Indios are very intelligent people, they are simply too poor (in material things and money. Culturally, they are very wealthy) to pursue higher education.

CD loves Panamá and the people, despite horrendous experiences (Free e-book; Fading Paradise). He plans to spend the rest of his life in the paradise that is Panamá
