"Axelrod's promising debut introduces a protagonist who will remind
readers of Robert Parker's sleuths. The two-part story structure
("Premeditation"and "Post Mortem") also gives readers an Ellery
Queen type of opportunity to "help solve" the crime." -Library
Journal When Nantucket homeowner Preston Lomax is killed, everyone
on the island could be a suspect. Lomax lived large, owed money,
and the word was spreading he was planning to stiff them all and
disappear. Chief of Police Henry Kennis, a newcomer from
California, investigates with help from the State Police. Together
they solve the case-or so it appears. But Kennis can't shake the
feeling that they've missed something. Kennis soon discovers
scandals, intrigues and an eclectic cast of local
characters-oddball journalists, surfing carpenters, drug dealers,
wealthy homeowners and their slacker children. Kennis uncovers a
truth that lies somewhere between the bad blood and the good
neighbors.
