Body on the Beach
O ovoj e-knjizi
Summer. 1978.
Private investigator Jake Horn is looking forward to a weekend with his daughter, away from the busy streets of Boston. But an early morning jog leads them to a shocking discovery on Goose Rocks Beach.
Within less than twenty-four hours, the cops arrest the brother of a local restaurateur for murder. But something doesn’t seem quite right. And it doesn’t take long for Jake to realize it’s not just the low tide that smells somewhat fishy…
While the evidence against the suspect looks damning, Jake has little doubt the cops have the wrong guy.
Is it all just a setup?
Jake soon finds himself caught in the crosshairs of some powerful locals who want him out of the picture. But even when his hands are tied, it’ll take more than a threat to stop him from finding the truth.
But the closer he gets to the truth, the more tangled the mystery becomes…
O autoru
Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.
He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.
His dog, luckily, survived.
But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.
The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.
Somehow, he became an author.
Raised in New England, Gregory now lives with his wife, kids, and dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
