There isn’t much sun in the fun when a billionaire
real estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-A-Whirl
at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet
summer tourist town of Sea Haven. John Ceepak, a former MP
just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police
department. The job offer came from an old army buddy who
hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer’s worth of rest and
relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead,
Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is
partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old part-time summer
cop who doesn’t carry a gun and only works with the police
by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play
with his beach buddies at night.
In the first novel
in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen’s
work, the Tilt-A-Whirl murder pushes Ceepak’s deep sense
of honor and integrity to the limits, as unexpected twists
and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every
direction.
