‘A must read for fans of a down-home mystery.’ — Harriet Klausner, Tainted Rock Reviews
From the neon of Atlanta to the Georgia seacoast, he’s searching for a killer, a motive ... and his past.
On the marshy shores of the Georgia coast, the locals tell a story: of a mythical woman who appeared from the sea, and of gentle twin brothers who would do anything for this femme fatale.
But now a man is dead, the Turner twins are missing, and only a meditating private eye from Atlanta can unravel the truth …
His name is Flap Tucker.
A man with a gift for visualization and the courage to go where his mind leads him, Flap has been hired by his dear friend, the beautiful nightclub owner Dalliance Oglethorpe.
A banker, Lowe Acree, has been murdered in down town Georgia and the man’s wife, Lydia Habersham, is the woman so shrouded in mystery that some believe she is a spirit.
When Flap visits Peachy and Maytag Turner’s father, J.D. Turner, he finds a man who is desperate for his boys to return home.
But their aunt Ida, is trying to signal something in a code she uses to communicate.
Yet J.D. doesn’t want Flap to know what she is saying and avoids translating for him.
Entering a world of gnarled kinships, family secrets, drugs and dirty money, Flap is surrounded by corrupt cops and rival families when he stumbles upon yet another murder.
Now the Zen private eye is pursuing a story stranger than fiction, a killer closer than he thinks, and some dangerous ghosts of his own…
Will he be able to solve the mystery before the killer strikes again?
