Cynthia Riggs' first novels have been out of print, and
now they're back. An Island-based book publisher, Vineyard
Stories, has put "Deadly Nightshade" and "The
Cranefly Orchid Murders" together in one trade-paperback
volume, titled "Double Murder in Martha's Vineyard."
The double volume is on sale at Cape and Island bookstores,
and available online at bunchofgrapes.com.
Vineyard Stories, located in Edgartown MA, publishes works
by and about residents of the Island. Information about
the company may be found at vineyardstories.com.
"Deadly Nightshade",
first printed in 2001, takes place in the Oaks Bluff harbor
of the Vineyard. The villains suspect Victoria has witnessed
a murder and must silence her. "The
Cranefly Orchid Murders" pits land developers against
environmentalists and is based on a real Island political
debate. Now … together in one volume!
