Asbury Park (Sailor Doyle)

Welcome to Asbury Park, N.J.

Ten weeks ago, homicide detective Sailor Doyle worked his first solo case, a gruesome double murder in a remote farmhouse in Virginia. And nothing was as it seemed.
Now on administrative leave, Sailor works to rebuild his shattered shoulder and leg; he's also pushing to rebuild his shattered relationships. Then a suicide victim crashes headlong through his breakfast table and a teenage gunman attempts to bring devastation to a local school, derailing Sailor's plans. As he investigates, apparently mismatched pieces - a retired baseball player, an endangered Arctic bird, a string of Tahitian pearls - all point to October, 1975, when a young couple fell in love and set in motion a dangerous conspiracy that reached the heart of the US and Canadian governments.
Have the dead retained Sailor Doyle to solve their unsolvable murders - and can a broken, suspended cop possibly bring justice to victims half a lifetime later? For he is about to encounter a tangled web of lies that only the dead can unravel.

Join Sailor Doyle on the streets of Asbury Park, where, once again, nothing is as it seems.
