註釋
Blues singer Buddy Blaine is overjoyed with his summer gig at Tuffy's on the beach strip. In exchange for performing two sets a day, he's awarded room and board, a few hundred bucks a week, and the attention of 40-something Beach Strip celebrity Josie Marshall. Plus the friendship of gorgeous and soon-to-be wealthy Abby Bergen, star of Tuffy's beach volleyball team.
But when Abby is found in Buddy's room garroted with a string from his guitar, his sunny world turns dark and dangerous. Especially when homicide detective Drew Deforest, who has all the grace of a hungry pit bull, leads the murder investigation.
Deforest and his team find themselves dealing with a cast of characters that includes Tuffy's hot-shot manager, an infatuated witness to Abby's impromptu strip-tease performances, a shady night watchman, and various others. Then, like it or not, Josie Marshall becomes entangled in the investigation and an unexpected romance.
The tension climaxes with a midnight conflagration and a stunning solution to the mystery. Or, as one of Buddy's original tunes puts it:
Terror we expect
But love always takes us
By surprise...
In this third book of the
Beach Series
, John Lawrence Reynolds brings down the house on one of the finest Canadian crime series in decades.
