Synopsis
Are you ready for an underwater adventure? Witness the mystery unfold as you dive in
Nate Martin finds something unfathomable on the beach-something impossible-that creates a frenzied search for answers amongst people who hold life less dear than their more desirous pursuits.
On the famous beaches of Hampstead, Michigan, what was once a small community of summer cottage holders has turned into a beachfront full of gaudy mansions owned by the mega-rich. Among the few remaining cottage folk are Nate and Brooke Martin, two teachers who have settled in for the summer to relax and rekindle their relationship. And on a remote peninsula resides Abner Hutch, retired Coast Guard Officer and Great Lakes master of the deep-a man with a mysterious past and a core wound that will not heal.
Everything changes on the sunny day in June when Nate takes a walk on the beach.
Put on some sunscreen, unfold a beach chair, and get ready to discover The Wreck.
"For a fun, exciting twist on the greatest mystery in Great Lakes maritime history, The Wreck by Landon Beach is an excellent summer read Beach has crafted a story full of colorful characters; the bad guys are really bad and the good guys are really great. The Michigan summer cottage experience is perfectly captured, and then enhanced by a gripping adventure aboard boats, on shore, and best of all, underwater. Because the tension builds unbearably, the reader will not be able to turn away from the book and should take care when reading on the beach because of the danger of forgetting to re-apply sunscreen We're looking forward to more terrific Landon Beach Great Lakes novels "
