Book excerpt: Chris Landrum is about to have it all-an extended vacation, a second home at the beach, and early retirement in his fifties. There's only one glitch: murder is part of the package on the small South Carolina barrier island of Folly Beach, where eccentric residents live bohemian lifestyles in the shadow of historic Charleston. Soon after settling in Folly Beach, Chris is befriended by an unlikely cadre of quirky locals: a real estate agent who looks like an out-of-season Santa with an attitude; a waitress who shares rumors and effuses charm; a professor; a lovely, intelligent, and unattached reporter; and a president-quoting, tag-along companion. He is fascinated by the company of his newfound friends, the novelty of the strange island that they call home, and the contrast of it all with stately Charleston. But when Chris finds the body of a prominent developer and lands in the middle of the Folly Beach spotlight, he immediately becomes a threat to the killer-and his vacation paradise might be the scene of his own untimely death. Vacations aren't nearly as much fun when one of your new acquaintances is trying to kill you, and catching a murderer is not the normal way to spend an extended holiday. But on Folly Beach, what's normal?

Book excerpt: Welcome to another collection of three novels from the award-winning Folly Beach Mystery series by best-selling author Bill Noel, with SEA FPG cowritten by award-winning Angelica Cruz. TIPPING POINT A peaceful kayak trip through the marsh suddenly turns terrifying for Chris Landrum and his friend Charles Fowler when a single-engine airplane plummets toward their watercraft. After coming inches from certain death, the kayakers' heroic efforts save two of the plane's occupants but failed to save the other two passengers. Learning the pilot had been poisoned and three of the plane's passengers live on Folly Beach, Chris and Charles decide it's up to the two retirees to catch the killer. Chris and his cast of quirky characters are challenged to solve a crime before lives are lost, possibly their own. SEA FOG coauthored with Angelica Cruz Halloween is traditionally filled with ghosts, goblins, and ghouls but this year the holiday brings something more sinister to Folly Beach. The popular fall holiday has never been a favorite of retired bureaucrat Chris Landrum but that didn't stop his friend Charles Fowler from convincing him to tour a haunted house. In addition to being faced with the scary scenes that appear in most haunted houses, they stumble across a dead body. Stir into the cauldron a Wiccan family, a Christian minister, an egotistical dentist, a ghost-hunting couple, and a dog the size of a Fiat and you have the makings of a mystery that Chris and Charles must solve before their bodies are added into the haunted house. MOSQUITO BEACH An early-morning phone call from a friend asking Chris Landrum if he'd heard anything about a skeleton discovered on Mosquito Beach, an African American enclave fewer than a handful of miles from Chris's home on Folly Beach, soon embroils Chris and a few of his friends into trying to solve a mystery dating back sixty plus years. Chris and his friend Charles's quest for answers takes on life or death proportions when two more of Chris's acquaintances are killed and his friend Al Washington is next in the killer's sights.

Praise for The Pier Louisville author Bill Noel, himself a seasoned photographer, has followed his debut offering, Folly, with another engaging Folly Beach Mystery. Armed with a gift for creating ultra-quirky yet believable characters, Noel shows how a healthy dose of cynicismeven among untrained, nonprofessional typescan lead to solving a murder mystery that the police had initially decided wasnt even a homicide.

Book excerpt: Chris Landrums morning has already started on a down note, as he stands in a cemetery listening to the eulogy for a friend. But his entire day deteriorates rapidly when he hears that a murder victim has been found in the marsh behind his retirement home on Folly Beach, South Carolina. Worse yet, the victim is the business associate of one of his friends. In a matter of hours, Chriss quiet, relaxed life is turned upside down. The police are convinced that Sean Aker, the victims law partner, is the killer. Chris has no reason to disagree other than the fact Sean is a frienda feeble defense at best. With the help of a group consisting of a tagalong buddy and wannabe private detective; an aging hippy and surf shop owner; a has-been country music singer; and a new acquaintance who runs a marsh tour business, Chris is thrust into a murder investigation that soon puts his dream of spending an idyllic retirement on hold yet again. As Chris and his merry band of misfit friends stumble, bumble, and come face-to-face with death in their amateurish quest to find a killer, they all wonder if the golden years are like this for everyoneor just them.

Book excerpt: A routine trip to the local hardware store propels Chris Landrum into a world of revenge, hate, and murder—hardly the peaceful outcome he had planned for his retirement on the small island of Folly Beach, South Carolina. Chris learned during his first year of retirement that friendships are more important than surf, sand, and the beauty of Charleston and South Carolina’s Low Country. When his friend, Larry, a retired cat-burglar-turned-hardware-store-owner, appears to be the target of a brutal murderer, Chris and his other friend, Charles, work on catching the killer before Larry becomes his latest victim. The police throw up their hands in defeat as bloody and macabre warnings begin appearing in greater numbers than suspects with few leads. What do the cryptic, chilling notes mean? What has Larry, a model citizen of Folly Beach, done to deserve the wrath of the killer? Chris seeks the help of some of his quirky friends—a charming, attractive waitress; a blustery, rude realtor; and an aging sentence-challenged hippie who owns a surf shop—to wade through the increasing number of suspects to help catch a killer and save the Washout of his friend. Will friendship cost Chris his life?

Book excerpt: An acclaimed master of suspense creates a heroine you will never forget in this superbly chilling novel of a woman who begins a desperate undertaking that may transform her life--or end it. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR WORST FEARS AREN’T ALL IN YOUR MIND? Rae Newborn is a woman on the edge: on the edge of sanity, on the edge of tragedy, and now on the edge of the world. She has moved to an island at the far reaches of the continent to restore the house of an equally haunted figure, her mysterious great-uncle; but as her life begins to rebuild itself along with the house, his story starts to wrap around hers. Powerful forces are stirring, but Rae cannot see where her reality leaves off and his fate begins. Fifty-two years old, Rae must battle the feelings that have long tormented her--panic, melancholy, and a skin-crawling sense of watchers behind the trees. Before she came here, she believed that most of the things she feared existed only in her mind. And who can say, as disturbing incidents multiply, if any of the watchers on Folly Island might be real? Is Rae paranoid, as her family and the police believe, or is the threat real? Is the island alive with promise--or with dangers? With Folly, award-winning author LAURIE R. KING once again powerfully redefines psychological suspense on a sophisticated and harrowing new level, and proves why legions of readers and reviewers have named her a master of the genre.
