Some family secrets
shouldn’t stay buried…
Music professor Gus LeGarde and his wife Camille are looking
forward to a relaxing vacation at Paines Creek Beach on beautiful Cape Cod. But
Gus barely has a chance to feel the sand between his toes before a near-miss
car accident drags him right into the middle of a local family feud — and a
centuries-old mystery that’s begging to be solved.
As Gus is drawn further into the conflict between the Cooks
and the McNabbs — two families with a grudge going all the way back to Colonial
times — he and Camille keep uncovering more questions than answers. Where is
the long-lost Cook family treasure? What’s really wrong with Beckett, the
McNabb-side member who’s the father of young Jane Cook’s son? And who’s telling
the truth about Beckett and Jane’s clandestine relationship: Jane’s
grandfather, surly patriarch Albert Cook; or Beckett’s slightly odd parents?
Before long, mounting tension gives way to true danger as
people start vanishing. And in the middle of a fast-brewing hurricane, Gus
discovers the real secret at the heart of the feud: someone who will stop at
nothing to make sure their side wins. Including murder.
Packed with shocking twists, exciting action, and
fascinating tales of family lore and pirate treasure, Murder on the Brewster Flats is the first LeGarde Mysteries
crossover novel with award-winning author Aaron Paul Lazar’s popular Paines
Creek Beach series. Don’t miss this installment!
