Opis

An historic tale of erotic scenarios and furtive explorations in one of Canada's foremost tourist attractions: Prince Edward Island. The two main characters, Cheryl Maguire and Christopher Laird, are both just out of high school and coincidentally obtain summer jobs at the same fast food establishment in Cavendish, anchor of PEI's National Park and legendary beaches. Chris, eighteen, is still a virgin and rectifying that condition is uppermost on his dating agenda. He's a very well read individual with a passion for 'who done it' mysteries and a craving, albeit judiciously, for adventure. Cheryl is eighteen as well and, although a 'take charge' individual by nature, has led a very protective life until now. She's also a literary fan and confides to Chris of having an imaginary bond, or 'kindred spirit' with an infamous female gangster of the dirty thirties. Their boss, Ollie Musick, is horse racing enthusiast and a possible crook. The disappearance and suspected murder Ollie's sexy girlfriend, the owner of a provocative red dress, and the Robbery of the Century, not to mention the possible whereabouts of a priceless artifact, sets the stage for their involvement in intrigue and clandestine activities hitherto unheard-of on tranquil PEI.
