About the Book

Jep Frye just wants to live a quiet life as an apartment manager in Meriden, Connecticut, playing his sax on weekends with the Fourtune Hunters. He wants to forget his past life in Florida, where the Picarelli mob is waiting to kill him. But when an upstairs tenant, Lena Lansing, kills her cat's veterinarian, and then flees from the police, Jep gets drawn into the investigation. And when he discovers that Lena has ties to the Picarelli mob, his life gets much more complicated. A blood red ruby is the key to Jep's safety, but the Florida mob has it and Jep must get it back.
About the Author: Jay R. Worsham spent many years in front of television cameras, under the name Jay Richard, as an East-coast weatherman and fast-talking star of a series of regional bedding commercials so zany that people either loved them or hated them. Rumor has it that he had to talk so fast, he got blisters on his tongue. He next became a reporter, humor columnist and theater critic for newspapers in South Florida. His readers developed a similar love/hate relationship with his columns and reviews. Buoyed up by his popularity (or infamy, if you prefer) he tackled his first novel, a fantasy titled "The Wall of Forgetfulness," in which a young swordsman, Ribiel, must learn to control the mysterious force called Reaching in order to save High Earth from the evil wizard, Mordan. Mr. Worsham's next effort was the humorous thriller, "Florida Freeze: A Rick Fortune Adventure," which introduced government field agent Rick Fortune. who must test a secret government weapon, a '66 Ford Mustang that flies, sort of. Instead of flying it, he spends most of his time trying to retrieve it after it is stolen by another field agent, the lovely Monique Mechante. Jay R. Worsham's next book project was the second in the Rick Fortune series, titled "Florida Green." This time, Rick Fortune must discover the source of the millions of dollars being spent by a radical environmental group that tears down condos to free up South Florida beaches. Rick also gets to test another secret government project, a device called the Time Shifter that can send him back in time, but for only five minutes. For his fourth book, Mr. Worsham created Jeptha Frye, footloose and wealthy, who can't resist playing amateur detective. In "Blood Red Ruby: A Jeptha Frye Novel," our protagonist, who prefers to be called Jep, is content to play his sax in the weekend band, The Fourtune Hunters, until he meets Lena Lansing. Lena has just killed her veterinarian after an argument over her cat, and she turns to Jep for help. But Lena has ties to organized crime, and before long, Jep must dodge bullets from three different mobs if he wants to stay alive. A twenty-year resident of South Florida, Jay R. Worsham now lives in Connecticut, where he gripes about the cold winters.
