The Body on The Beach, (Paperback)

The Body on The Beach<br>A Shannon Breen Mystery<br>The summer of 1955 is in full swing on the Grand Strand - the carousel turns, the tourists crowd Ocean Boulevard, and the Atlantic glitters like a postcard. But when a body washes up on the beach at Third Street South, Detective Shannon Breen of the Myrtle Beach Police discovers that paradise has a shadow side.<br>The dead man has no identification, no witnesses, and a bullet in his back. What he does have is a false name, a hidden packet of documents, and a very dangerous secret.<br>As Breen works the case beneath the blazing July sun - from the tourist homes and motor courts of the Strand to the courthouse basements of Georgetown and the mahogany-paneled offices of Columbia - the investigation reaches deeper and darker than any murder on the beach has a right to. There is a dead man who signed a deed the day after he died. An old Carolina family whose land someone wanted badly enough to kill for. A woman who knows more than she's told anyone. And somewhere in the crowd of sunburned vacationers and summer regulars, a shooter who is very good at disappearing.<br>With the help of a sharp young officer, a state investigator who has been watching from the shadows, and the kind of patient, bone-deep determination that great detective work requires, Breen begins to unravel a conspiracy that stretches from the Waccamaw River to the highest offices of South Carolina commerce.<br>In Myrtle Beach, the tides bring everything in eventually. The trick is being there when they do.<br>Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with Southern atmosphere, mid-century settings, and detectives who believe the truth is worth finding - no matter where it leads.
