Opis

Two complete stories of hot Florida sand, cool Gulf waves, and a tall glass of murder with a twist Collected in print for the first time: The first two Panorama Beach mysteries The Best Devil Money Can Buy: In 1967 Panorama Beach is awash with dirty money: Developer money, drug money, vice money -- and green-deputy Tommy "Mustang" Sawtell might just be the last untouched lawman in north Florida. But Mustang is about to be tested as he investigates his first suspicious death, a "floater" found in a pond under the Sky Bucket ride, from which the deputy believes he fell, jumped - or was thrown. But the deputy doesn't know why Sheriff "Big" Bass has personally assigned him to the case, there are signs of a cover-up, and Mustang is about to get a good look at his department's dark underbelly. Before it's over, he's going to learn that justice, the law, and doing what's right are all different things, and he may not like - or survive -- the dangerous little place where they overlap A Breath Away From Dying: Deputy "Mustang" Sawtell knows there's something wrong with the scene when he responds to a prowler call at the Aquarama aquarium and underwater-show, and finds a dead mermaid laying on the shore of the Mermaid Grotto. But he's dismissed from the case by a treacherous superior officer, who bungles the investigation and rules her death an accident. So when Sheriff "Big" Bass asks him to take a secretive, off-duty, second look at the case, he's eager to please despite the danger, and questions about the sheriff's true motives. But there are deep secrets, cut-throat business, old-flames, and hidden agendas waiting for him, and before Mustang knows which way the tide is running, he'll be in hot water -- face-to-face with a killer Welcome to Panorama Beach, Florida, 1967, where the sand is white as sugar, the attractions are larger-than-life, and the money is all dirty and rolling in like a storm tide Mustang Sawtell may be pure of heart, but he's got no choice but to get his hands dirty and rely on some sketchy characters if he hopes to survive his first summer on Panorama Beach Contains the complete text of the ebook originals, "The Best Devil Money Can Buy," and "A Breath Away from Dying," plus notes from the author and a map of Panorama Beach.
