Toxic Octopus by Lisa Haneberg

Toxic Octopus by Lisa Haneberg

A popular marine biologist is dead. An octopus named Fred is accused of killing her. Can Xena interrogate Fred and solve the crime before more people die?

Xena Cali is a somewhat overzealous investigator with a passion for poetic justice. Her latest case takes her to the Biological and Aquatic Research Labs (BARL) in Galveston, where Dr. Jane Moore is found dead in a tank with a large octopus wrapped around her body. When Dr. Ari Pani (42 and very handsome) doesn't accept the police's conclusion of death by octopus, he hires Xena to find the truth before Fred is lethally injected in two weeks.

The investigation tests her mental and athletic prowess, her stash of spy shop gadgets and her assumptions about octopuses. She'll need all that and a commandeered Segway to stay alive.

Toxic Octopus is the first book in the Spy Shop mystery series. If you like fast-paced crime novels, clever satire and gritty beach towns, then you'll love this humorous mystery.

Lisa Haneberg has 25 years of experience as a coach, trainer, writer, and consultant, and is currently vice president for MPI Consulting, an organization development practice in Cincinnati. When it comes to delivering fresh, practical approaches to the art of coaching, you can't beat Haneberg. Her upbeat, no-nonsense style makes her books engaging, applicable, and unquestionably valuable. Never one to get hung up about corporate formality, Haneberg is quick to point out that we all drive each other bonkers, and to provide a sound framework for improving coaching and communications despite individual differences. But don't let her lighthearted approach fool you: Haneberg has heavyweight experience in the fields of organization development and management and leadership training. She has worked with leaders in organizations as varied as Intel, Black & Decker, Amazon.com, Mead Paper, and the Royal Government of Thailand. With a degree in behavioral sciences from the University of Maryland, Haneberg is the author of 10 other books, including Organization Development Basics and Coaching Basics (both from ASTD Press). She is also author of numerous articles and essays and the popular blog Management Craft. Haneberg enjoys tooling around country roads on her purple motorcycle named Hazel, and she lives in Cincinnati with two cats, two big dogs, and one husband.
