Tilt a Whirl

Tilt a Whirl by Grabenstein, Chris. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780786717811.

There isnt much sun in the fun when a billionaire real estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-A-Whirl at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet summer tourist town of Sea Haven. John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summers worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old part-time summer cop who doesnt carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies at night. In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasens work, the Tilt-A-Whirl murder pushes Ceepaks deep sense of honor and integrity to the limits, as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction.
