Ties That Bind

Detective Tom Brinkman grew up near the water. He rose before dawn to help his father fish and joined him at the wharf’s marketplace. When he was twelve, Tom discovered his father’s body, murdered and robbed for the pittance he had earned that day.

Nothing from his humble beginning prepared him for multi-million dollar yachts or seductive socialites. When Julie Carter, daughter of shipping tycoon, Howard Carter, is pulled from the waters beneath the pier, he has to learn fast.

As he penetrates the covering of deception and intrigue, he begins to trust no one.

Not Howard Carter nor his wealthy Crystal Beach neighbors.

Not the enticing Sylvie Rockford, Julie’s best friend.

Not even the members of his own team.

Then Tom begins to doubt himself, as unfolding evidence points to his father’s participation in a nefarious scheme. Will he risk his father’s honor to solve a crime?

Book Blurb Friday is hosted by Lisa Ricard Claro, who posts a weekly photo and challenges us to “write a book jacket blurb (150 words or less) so enticing that potential readers would feel compelled to buy the book.” That’s quite a challenge, but it’s a lot of fun as well.

This week’s blurb has 150 words.
