Summer People - (Sheriff Ray Elkins Thriller) by Aaron Stander (Paperback)

About the Book

Sheriff Ray Elkins in the debut of the thriller series.

Book Synopsis

IT IS LATE JUNE IN MICHIGAN'S GOLD COAST RESORT AREA.

The summer residents are settling in for the season and the tourists are beginning to flood the highways and beaches. But the idyllic vision of a summer at the shore is suddenly shattered by a gangland-style shooting. This murder is quickly followed by the deaths of three more summer residents, each taking place under suspicious circumstances.

At time hindered by local politics and the proverbial tension between the "summer people" and the "natives," Sheriff Ray Elkins searches for the possible links between the four victims. As he probes into their tangled lives and dark histories, he finds both the motive and the possible murderer.
