BARE-NAKED LOLA Hits Summer Reads Lists, on Sale at Walmart Stores Nationwide!

July 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Fort Collins, Colorado – Available in trade paperback and eBook formats, Bare- Naked Lola, the third installment in the Lola Cruz Mystery series by bestselling author Melissa Bourbon Ramirez, is on sale now at Walmart stores during their Hot Summer Reads promotion.

The Texas author takes a fresh approach to the mystery genre and creates well-rounded characters. Readers from all cultures can connect with her gutsy private investigator Lola Cruz. “You don’t have to be Latina to like her, and you don’t have to not be Latina to like her,” says Toni Plummer, Melissa’s first editor on the Lola series.

The plot of the latest book, Bare-Naked Lola, was inspired from a real-life murderous tale. “About ten years ago, there were the Yosemite Killings,” Melissa says. “A man murdered a woman, her daughter, and a Brazilian exchange student. He was finally apprehended at a nudist resort where he’d been hiding out. Creepy, yes, but turned into fiction makes it a sizzling summer read."

Synopsis:
Going undercover is second nature for Private Investigator Lola Cruz, but she’s out of her league when the case of a murdered Royals Courtside Dancer leads her to a local nudist resort. Parading around the sidelines of Sacramento’s professional basketball scene in a barely-there cheerleading outfit is one thing—but parading around in nothing but a smile? If she has any chance of hiding this from her traditional family and on-again/off-again boyfriend Jack, she’s going to have a lot more than her duct tape bra and killer dance moves to keep under wraps…
