By now Robert Holland’s readers know that when they pick up one of his books, they’re in for a good read. Dead Reckoning carries that tradition boldly forward. As always, the author breaks new ground and once again produces a mystery packed with suspense and action. Charlie Jones has a peaceful summer in mind ... plenty of fishing and sailing and reading before he leaves the Vineyard for college and the start of another football season. Then things start cropping up and once again Charlie finds himself in the middle of what amounts to a war, which, explodes with action and danger. Even an ordinary sailing race in the family J/24 turns out to be anything but.
