It is late June in Michigan's gold coast resort area. The summer residents are
settling in for the season and the tourists are beginning to flood the highways
and beaches. But the idyllic vision of a summer at the shore is suddenly
shattered by a gangland-style shooting. This murder is quickly followed by the
deaths of three more summer residents, each taking place under suspicious
circumstances. At times hindered by local politics and the proverbial tension
between the summer people and the natives, Sheriff Ray Elkins searches for the
possible links between the four victims. As he probes into their tangled lives
and dark histories, he finds both the motive and the possible
murderer.
Summer People is available on Amazon, at Barnes & Nobel and various Northern Michigan Independent booksellers (to see a complete list - click here).
"This was my first mystery by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it (as I have
the subsequent books in this series). Having lived in several "summer towns"
myself, I thought the book was a very good portrayal of their culture. The
characters were believable, but I especially liked the portrayal of strong
female characters and the way a final "justice" was handled at the end. " - Parulaj
