Private eye Alton Rhode is giving away the bride at a "destination wedding" on remote Bald Head Island. It is a strange situation, given the fact that the bride once worked for people trying to kill him. Then, things really get weird!
Taking a break from the festivities on the idyllic island just off the North Carolina coast, Rhode and his lady love, the beautiful Alice Watts, meet the island's most-famous resident: the reclusive author, Ashleigh Harper.
At least they originally believe it's Harper, whose classic environmental novel inspired a generation of America's youth. Rhode is soon involved in a real-life plot involving the first murders on Bald Head in 500 years!
Before solving the case, he almost brings down a publishing empire and becomes the target of a beautiful temptress and her lover - a maniac who feeds his victims to sharks!
Featuring cold-blooded murders and a hot-blooded femme fatale, with scenes that shift from Wall Street to Cape Fear, TURTLE DOVE may be unlike anything you've ever read. And it's only a click away!
