Pages : 354
Book Description
When Dr.Fred is murdered at the exclusive Sands Beach Club and draped over the railing of a cabana to moon the beautiful beach it's as bad a beginning to the season as the year the chef spoiled the tuna salad with two much mayonnaise. Not any worse, though. Because no one liked Dr. Fred much. Indeed, as Lieut. Donna Pacheco of the State Police and Matt Borg, editor of the smallest daily newspaper in the smallest state in the Union discover, just about everyone hated him. With good reason. For while Dr. Fred was smart, handsome and as charming as could be, he was also a womanizing predator, a sneak and someone you could not trust as far as you could throw the whole Sands Beach Club. He was a man who used secrets to hurt even those closest to him, a physician who took advantage of his profession to seduce and blackmail the women who loved him. His cruelty even extended to the doyen of society in the state, Mrs. Westfield, and her four daughters, the beautiful girls their mother had assured would marry rich men, regardless of the consequences or their happiness. Was Dr. Fred blackmailing the girls? Maybe. Their mother? Probably. He was blackmailing almost everyone else. Mean as he was, Dr. Fred had at least one friend, the husband of one of their daughters. But, sure enough, he would be murdered too. And he would be regretted almost as little as Dr. Fred, as Donna and Matt quickly discover. Eventually the detective and the newsman untangle the web of history and family that encircles the exclusive Sands Beach Club and come up with the murderer, though you might not find it a happy ending.

The Beach
Author: Alex Garland
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101657502
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
The irresistible novel that was adapted into a major motion picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The Khao San Road, Bangkok -- first stop for the hordes of rootless young Westerners traveling in Southeast Asia. On Richard's first night there, in a low-budget guest house, a fellow traveler slashes his wrists, bequeathing to Richard a meticulously drawn map to "the Beach." The Beach, as Richard has come to learn, is the subject of a legend among young travelers in Asia: a lagoon hidden from the sea, with white sand and coral gardens, freshwater falls surrounded by jungle, plants untouched for a thousand years. There, it is rumored, a carefully selected international few have settled in a communal Eden. Haunted by the figure of Mr. Duck -- the name by which the Thai police have identified the dead man -- and his own obsession with Vietnam movies, Richard sets off with a young French couple to an island hidden away in an archipelago forbidden to tourists. They discover the Beach, and it is as beautiful and idyllic as it is reputed to be. Yet over time it becomes clear that Beach culture, as Richard calls it, has troubling, even deadly, undercurrents. Spellbinding and hallucinogenic, The Beach by Alex Garland -- both a national bestseller and his debut -- is a highly accomplished and suspenseful novel that fixates on a generation in their twenties, who, burdened with the legacy of the preceding generation and saturated by popular culture, long for an unruined landscape, but find it difficult to experience the world firsthand.
