A struggling author gets a dose of true crime at her family's Florida island hotel in this cozy mystery novel by the national bestselling author.

Trading the urban sprawl of Manhattan for the tranquility of Melbourne Beach, Florida, was the best decision author Liz Holt ever made. What could be better for getting a writer's creative juices flowing than soaking in the life at the unconventional hotel that has been in her family for generations? But it's death that grips the island when a body sweeps in on the tide.

The victim was a member of a fishing crew lost at sea who may or may not have drowned. Despite the corpse in their crosshairs, the staff of the Indialantic by the Sea Hotel continues its plans for its first annual Pirates' Weekend. But things go further awry when both a hurricane and a killer leave a trail of destruction. Liz and her new boyfriend must figure out who's behind the carnage—or become the next addition to Davy Jones' locker.
