When Michael Regan falls off the rocks to his death on the Ocean
Drive, it is first seen as an accident. Regan's son Gary, a
washed-up tennis pro living in Mexico, returns home to Newport, RI,
for the funeral. He connects with an old friend who suspects Gary's
father was murdered and that evidence is being suppressed. The
death of a Latino teenager at Fort Adams State Park also seems to
be related. Soon the underside of Newport is exposed as Gary
discovers other deaths unresolved going all the way back to the
1960s with Doris Duke, the tobacco heiress a prime suspect. Full of
the richness of an island paradise with the colorful vistas of
Cliff Walk, Rough Point, and the Breakers' Mansion, this detective
novel also explores the dark side of a resort town with its
undesirables and socially marginal, as well as the super-rich, and
powerful landowner-politicians. Meanwhile, for tennis fans, it also
contains a compelling and action-filled match with sizzling serves
and volleys.
