✦ Synopsis

Chris Landrum is about to have it all-an
extended vacation, a second home at the beach, and early retirement in his
fifties. There's only one glitch: murder is part of the package on the small
South Carolina barrier island of Folly Beach, where eccentric residents live
bohemian lifestyles in the shadow of historic Charleston.Soon
after settling in Folly Beach, Chris is befriended by an unlikely cadre of
quirky locals: a real estate agent who looks like an out-of-season Santa with an
attitude; a waitress who shares rumors and effuses charm; a professor; a lovely,
intelligent, and unattached reporter; and a president-quoting, tag-along
companion. He is fascinated by the company of his newfound friends, the novelty
of the strange island that they call home, and the contrast of it all with
stately Charleston. But when Chris finds the body of a prominent developer and
lands in the middle of the Folly Beach spotlight, he immediately becomes a
threat to the killer-and his vacation paradise might be the scene of his own
untimely death.Vacations aren't nearly as much fun when one of
your new acquaintances is trying to kill you, and catching a murderer is not the
normal way to spend an extended holiday. But on Folly Beach, what's
normal?
