Zachary Paterson discovers a surfing buddy’s body weeks before a big local surfing competition.
Patricia Garret and Shirley Martinez vowed they’d never get involved in another murder investigation ever again. After being held hostage at gunpoint, they’d lost their zest for solving homicides. They’d promised Detective Byron Garret that they would no longer interfere. Besides, they have another mystery to solve. Plum trees are disappearing from the yards of Beach City residents. When one of Pat’s trees is taken from her front yard in the middle of the night, Pat enlists Shirley’s help in figuring out how and why the trees are going missing.
Will Pat and Shirley keep their promise and refrain from interfering with the murder investigation? Will danger ensue as a result of the theft of the plum trees? Will justice be served?
