When a visit to a tranquil town in Wisconsin's Door County turns deadly, travel writer Alex Paige must uncover the murderer before she becomes the next victim. Filled with quirky characters, a beautiful locale, and villains you'll love to hate, once you start reading this first in series, you won't want to stop. Although Alex Paige is anxious to get back in the field after a year off for cancer treatment, she's afraid she's forgotten how to be a travel writer. A visit to an idyllic resort seems like an easy way to get her feet wet. Lucky for her, she's put at ease when she meets a fellow survivor. But that comfort is destroyed when Alex discovers a greedy developer she’d put in jail during her journalism years is buying the resort. Alex knows if he’s involved, something must be fishy. She’s quickly proven right when his plans are revealed. But the real threat comes when the evil felon’s partner is murdered. With the help of her irrepressible friend William and a lantern-jawed boat captain, Alex is determined to save the resort and marina. Can she expose the real killer before she becomes the next victim? Peril on the Peninsula is the first book in the Alex Paige Travel Mysteries Series.

During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. America’s Heartland is well depicted in this WPA Guide to Kansas, originally published in 1939. Kansas, also nicknamed the “Sunflower State” because of its rich agricultural roots and the “Jayhawker State” because of its distinct role in the American Civil War, has a diverse and extensive history.
