The Sanibel Sunset Detective Goes to the Movies
(2023)(Book 14 in the Sanibel Sunset Detective Mystery series)
A novel by Ron Base
The Sanibel Sunset Detective is back-and he's in bigger trouble than ever!
The last thing Tree Callister wants is to get involved in the movie that is being shot on Sanibel Island. But the film deals with the Hollywood life of his best pal, Rex Baxter. Cast as Rex is the legendary movie star John Twist who was lured out of retirement to play the role.
Twist is a nasty, difficult drunk who needs a minder to make sure he stays sober. Tree, against his better judgment, gets dragged into the job. As filming begins, everyone involved soon comes to despise Twist. Tree has his hands full trying to keep the aging star in line.
It gets more complicated-not to mention dangerous-when a sketchy character named Shell Dean shows up accompanied by his shifty associate, Mr. Dix. Shell wants to hire Tree to find his fiancée who, he says, has been abducted by a certain famous actor currently shooting a movie in the area.
Two dead bodies show up, Rex's movie is about to collapse-and a storm is brewing.
One wrong move and Tree goes to prison for the rest of his life. Or he ends up dead. As readers of the thirteen previous novels know only too well, he is adept at making all the wrong moves.
Tree finding himself nailed to a cross clad in a loincloth makes The Sanibel Sunset Detective Goes to the Movies the craziest, most unlikely Tree Callister adventure yet!
