Mystery Suspense Books Set in Coastal Towns

Nestled in an overlooked part of the Mediterranean, Dog Island is home to a quiet and untouched community that has long lived off its fishing, its vines, and its olive trees, far away from the turmoil of its neighbors. But when the bodies of three unidentified men wash up on the beach, the witnesses are faced with an impossible decision: report the discovery and open up the island to grisly inquiries, or conceal the terrible truth?
Resolving to preserve their way of life, the mayor and a small group of conspirators resolve on a cover-up. But after they dispose of the evidence, their act of deception continues to haunt them, bringing waves of suspicion and misfortune to the island. A detective arrives from the mainland, making their secret even harder to keep and threatening to destroy the very community they tried so hard to protect.

Set on the swankiest beaches with the most pristine surfaces, this omnibus edition contains three novels by James Patterson that are all about the darkness that lies beneath the surface. In The Palm Beach Murders, a jaded pair find love and connection, but a dangerous game has them testing the limits of their morality. Nooners follows a man whose life seems ideal, except that everyone around him keeps dying mysteriously...but why? And Stingray is about a teenager who goes missing on the beach, and the unconventional team that uncovers the shocking truth about the disappearance.
