Zac and his sister Ruby live with their father and spend all their free time helping him out at the family restaurant. When his uncle, a part owner of the restaurant who never helps out, is found murdered on the beach, the police begin to suspect his dad. Zac knows that cannot be true and sets out to prove it was Uncle Flash's longtime rival Shotgun McGinnis. Twists and turns and dead ends abound as Zac digs deeper into Flash's life. It turns out that Flash wasn't the perfect guy Zac and Ruby knew and the city of Barton Beach hides more secrets than they could imagine.
Very loosely based on the <i>Hunt A Killer</i> games, this novel moved quickly from one twist to another without going very deep into anything. If you're looking for a quick escape, this is for you! If you're looking for a tight, well thought out plot that will keep you guessing, keep looking. It was a fun, quick read but I had the mystery figured out very early on. 3 solid stars.
