Riptide

di Debbi Mack (Autore)

Renegade Press, 2022

A week at the beach could kill you. Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae's stay in Ocean City for the annual Maryland bar association convention becomes a busman's holiday when her best friend Jamila is arrested for murder. All signs point to a frame, but Jamila's local counsel advises her to plea bargain. This would permanently stain the ambitious attorney's spotless record, unless Sam and a private investigator can find evidence to clear her. Sam has her work cut out for her, since the victim is the stepson of a local wealthy entrepreneur and poultry producer and no one will talk to her, including the lawyer's investigator. Even Jamila seems to be withholding information. Meanwhile, Sam's running from mysterious pursuers and comes under police scrutiny when another murder takes place. With the clock ticking down to the convention and preliminary hearing, Sam must uncover secrets, lies, and fraud to find the real killer. At what cost will that knowledge come for Sam? WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK "The plot was tight and author Debbi Mack kept me guessing whodunnit to the very end." -- Karen Cantwell, bestselling author of the Barbara Marr Mystery Series "The final scene, Sam delivers just desserts to an annoying fellow attorney in a manner that made me chuckle aloud. But don't skip ahead to see what happens. Start at the beginning. Riptide will pull you right along." -- Suzanne Adair, award-winning author of the Mysteries of the American Revolution and the Michael Stoddard American Revolution Mysteries "Full of tension and suspense from cover-to-cover, Riptide is a cracking good read." -- Leighton Gage, author of the Chief Inspector Mario Silva Series "Sam McRae is a nosy, brassy, sarcastic pain in the ass. Which is why you'll love her." -- Frank Zafiro, author of the River City Crime Novels "Get dragged under by Riptide. If you're not already a fan of the Sam McRae series, you will be after this read." -- Benjamin Sobieck, author of Cleansing Eden and The Glass Eye.
