博客來LAKEFRONT: A Southern Noir Action Mystery
He just wanted to sell condos. Now he’s drowning in secrets.
Rex Dial is a young real estate developer betting everything on Lakefront Estates, his dream condo project on the shores of a deceptively calm Arkansas lake. But with the bank breathing down his neck and his millionaire dream evaporating, Rex concocts a desperate marketing scheme: a flashy, bikini-hosted ＂Extreme Fishing＂ show to lure buyers.
What he hooks instead is a deadly secret dredged from the murky depths - a decades-old underwater treasure tied to dirty money, dangerous ledgers, and the lake’s buried history.
Suddenly, Rex is navigating treacherous waters far deeper than any creek channel.
His ambitious assistant, Patty, sees the find as her ticket out, playing a dangerous game of manipulation.
A reluctant divemaster, Jerry, gets pulled into the hazardous retrieval, bringing his own connections to the local criminal underworld, including his ruthless cousin Curtis and the menacing Ray-Ray.
And lurking in the shadows are the Jenkins clan, tied to the cove’s dark past and ready to reclaim what they believe is theirs.
LAKEFRONT is a gritty, fast-paced Southern Noir thriller in the vein of Ozark and the works of John D. MacDonald. It plunges readers into a world of simmering tension, desperate characters, and deadly secrets where the placid surface of the lake hides unimaginable darkness below.
Fans of action mystery, crime fiction, lake thrillers, and suspenseful reads will be hooked by this gripping tale of ambition, greed, and the price of unearthing buried truths.
