Gone! Fishing. The Bethany Beach Murders - Eric Paul Pearson

Are you searching for a clever small-town mystery that pulls you straight into a sun-drenched coastal nightmare? If you crave sharp heroines and chilling beachside suspense, this book delivers the ultimate cerebral escape.

Sophia Grace Smoot has the perfect summer planned. Between her junior and senior years at the University of Delaware, the prelaw student is interning with the Bethany Beach Police Department, staying at her great-aunt Martha’s house on the ocean, and running the beach every morning with Sunny, her certified golden retriever.

Then an extreme low tide uncovers something no one expected: a bloodied fishing vest half buried in the sand, scattered fishing gear, and two deep ruts leading straight into the Atlantic.

Someone went fishing and never came back. And they won’t be the last to disappear.

With help from Sergeant Lois Handler, a 30-year veteran of the department, and three retired charter captains who know every inch of the beach, Sophia Grace and Sunny follow the clues wherever they lead. As the FBI steps in and the questions multiply, one thing becomes clear: in Bethany Beach, some secrets don’t stay buried.

Gone! Fishing: The Bethany Beach Murders is a fast-moving coastal mystery for readers who love smart heroines, loyal dogs, and small towns with dark secrets.
