DOWNLOAD EBOOKA murder mystery set in the coastal Californian town of Half Moon Bay. The first in a long-running series. Author and Screenwriter, Edgar Hillerman, moves to a clifftop cottage, overlooking the shore of Half Moon Bay, in Northern California, and is very quickly pegged as a self-important dope, predisposed to belittling the amateur penning of the locals in his creative writing class. Classes used to fuel his ego, about a career half lived, the other half, invented. Creating the centre of his own world. He has the tact of making enemies quicker than Sheriff Orbach has ever known. From their first meeting, he becomes a pain in the rear for Sheriff Orbach. Pulling illegal PR stunts to gain his professional endeavors as much publicity as possible. Orchestrating a series of shocking crimes uncommon to the area. Driven by money. He turns a traditionally quaint town into a frenzy. Orbach and the villagers quickly brand him cancerous for their respectable village. Orbach sets about getting him gone. In Grass Valley, a nearby town, there’s a recent commotion of drug peddling between big bosses moving from San Diego and San Francisco, as soon as a new restaurant opens its doors. A town regarded for its safety and neighborliness, now prime news for fatal stabbings and shootings, and placed on a police watch list. When the writer is found dead, the mode of conduct seems a fitting fate. Orbach isn’t surprised. He had brought it on himself. When the mortician finds poisoned ink has been injected into the dead man’s veins. But for Sheriff Orbach the murder is more than a disruption to idyllic coastal life with too many people on the list of potential suspects, Orbach struggles with his direction of investigation, especially when the media and FBI arrive, who act like starving sharks in empty waters.
