About this title

Synopsis:

There isn't much sun in the fun when a billionaire real estate tycoon is found murdered on the "Tilt-A-Whirl" at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet summer tourist town of Sea Haven. John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer's worth of R&R to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old, part-time summer cop who doesn't carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies by night. In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiassen's work, the "Tilt-A-Whirl" murder pushes Ceepak's deep sense of honour and integrity to the limits as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction.
