Palm Beach Scavengers - Paperback

Book Overview

A legendary sports agent is found floating at the Palm Beach docks. Official conclusion: he was drunk, fell into the Intracoastal, and drowned. But Crawford and Ott aren't buying it. Not for one second.

Suspects? Take your pick: A 375-pound ex-football player whose wife had become far too friendly with the agent? A beautiful client-mistress to a fearsome Russian billionaire-with whom the line between business and pleasure had become hopelessly blurred? The libidinous agent's own girlfriend, strung along by continued promises of marriage once his alleged divorce was finalized?

Crawford wonders...with so many entanglements, how did this guy have time to do his job? And that's just the beginning. The suspect list only grows as Crawford and Ott continue to bring the agent's sordid history to light.

Turner's newest, riveting tale of mystery and deceit in the glitzy world of Palm Beach is a must-read for fans of crime fiction looking for their next obsession.

About Tom Turner

A native New Englander, Tom Turner dropped out of college and ran a Vermont bar ... into the ground. Among other ill-advised gambits was hiring Bennington College girls as go-go dancers. After limping back to college to get his diploma, Tom became an advertising copywriter, first in Boston then New York. After ten years of post-Mad Men life, he made a radical change and got a job in commercial real estate. Not long after that he ended up in Palm Beach, buying, renovating and selling houses along with collecting a lot of raw material for his novels. On the side, he wrote Palm Beach Nasty, its sequel, Palm Beach Poison, and a screenplay called Blood Red Sea. While at a wedding a few years later, he fell for the charm of Charleston, South Carolina, and moved there. Recently, wandering Tom moved again. This time, just down the road to Skidaway Island, outside of Savannah, where he just completed a novel which is set there.
