Nothing says summer in Pelican Shores like sunshine, sand sculptures, and buried treasure rumors. Oh, and a body beneath the sand . Amateur sleuth and café owner, Finn Dockrey, finds a toe sticking out of a prize-winning sandcastle. It’s clear the island’s annual Sand Spectacular has turned downright sinister. And the suspect list is growing faster than the rumors of Jean Lafitte's treasure. Plus, residents and visitors are turning the little beach town inside out. The quest for pirate doubloons and stolen jewels is rampant. And Finn and her best friend, Birdie, are digging up more than clues. But the sand isn't the only thing hiding secrets. Rumors fly and relationships unravel. Finn knows the killer is someone close. Someone who will do anything to keep their secrets buried. She's armed with a golden retriever who knows how to sniff out trouble. A sassy cat with perfect timing. And one very handsome detective who keeps showing up at just the right (or wrong) moment. Finn’s racing against the tide to uncover the truth. One thing’s for sure. In Pelican Shores, nothing stays buried forever.
