Cozy Culinary Mystery

One of the highest-ranking defectors from Scientology exposes the secret inner workings of the powerful organization in this remarkable memoir.

Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old. After high school, he signed a billion-year contract and was admitted into Scientology’s elite inner circle, the Sea Organization. Brought to founder L. Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Mike was instead put to work swabbing the decks.

Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission, swiftly rising through the ranks. In the 1980s, Rinder became Scientology’s international spokesperson and the head of its powerful Office of Special Affairs. He helped negotiate Scientology’s pivotal tax exemption from the IRS and engaged with the organization’s prominent celebrity members, including Tom Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley, and John Travolta.

Yet Rinder couldn’t shake a nagging feeling that something was amiss—Hubbard’s promises remained unfulfilled at his death, and his successor, David Miscavige, was a ruthless and vindictive man who did not hesitate to confine many top Scientologists, Mike among them, to a makeshift prison known as the Hole.

Ben Evans is famous. Not one-hit-wonder famous. His name falls off the lips of every girl with breath in her lungs. And none of that stops his heart from shattering when he finds his girlfriend/singing partner cheating on him with his best friend. He thought they were destined, fate, because the lyrics she poured her soul into fit the notes in his head.

But what if none of it was true?

Piper Hayes is a nobody. Not just a fade-into-the-background nobody. The only time anyone acknowledges her is when her sister needs a coffee or someone to blame for her mistakes. None of that stops her from seeing him. Ben. Every time he sings the lyrics her sister pretends to have written, she wants to end the lie.

As the tour comes to an end, Ben turns to Rockstars Anonymous, the support group his publicist forced him into. They’re ridiculous, annoying, and way too interested in his life, but they’re also right. Maybe he’s loved the wrong girl all along.

But the obvious suspects have strong alibis and Harris’ instincts tell him there is something serious afoot. The wildlife-loving detective is increasingly exasperated.
