Synopsis

Private Investigator, Earl Town, is hired by a beautiful young professional to find her boss, a financial executive who disappeared amid negotiations on a billion-dollar merger. The case presents Earl with no shortage of possibilities. Is someone trying to scuttle the deal? Did the man with a notorious wandering eye get bumped off by an angry husband or jealous rival? Or perhaps, the stressed-out playboy simply headed off to a warm beach with a sizzling beach bunny.

The mystery leads the PI from Boston to Indian Head, a historic yacht club on the Long Island Sound, and the upper East Side of Manhattan. High society views Town as a rube, an assumption that the "wily sleuth protagonist" (Kirkus Reviews) cultivates and uses to his advantage. When Earl determines foul play is at hand, his chief suspects are the man's co-workers and fellow yachters, all of whom are proud members of America's modern-day aristocracy. They don't much like the PI interfering in their business, and along the way, they'll mock, bludgeon, and even seduce him, but perhaps their gravest error will be to underestimate him.

Is the former small-town cop clever enough to outsmart the upper-crust and bring a cold-blooded killer to justice, or will these pampered 'elites' be the end of Earl Town?
