The Hampton Beach Tapes: A Dan Marlowe Novel - Paperback

by Jed Power (Author)

XXX-RATED VIDEOS FLOOD HAMPTON BEACH! In this, the sixth novel in the Dan Marlowe series, Dan finds himself accused of operating a porn movie racket on Hampton Beach by none other than his old nemesis, Lt. Richard Gant of the Hampton Police Department. To clear his name Dan sets out to uncover who's really distributing the lurid tapes on the beach. His search takes him to seacoast strip clubs, dirty book stores, oceanfront mansions, and every bar on Hampton Beach. Along the way he encounters a millionaire rock star, a beautiful junkie stripper, adult film workers, and an enigmatic figure known only as the "Old Man," who may be nothing more than a figment of Dan's troubled mind. When dead bodies start turning up and Dan and his friends are threatened with death if he doesn't end his inquiries, Dan realizes there is more going on than the peddling of a few sex films. A lot more. There's a dark and sinister conspiracy. If it succeeds, Hampton Beach, the place Dan loves and calls home, will never be the same. Dan can't let that happen, no matter what happens to him.
