LT Nichols Mystery

When twin teenage sisters go missing at the height of tourist season, Laurel, Maine Police Chief Tim Nichols' summer of patrolling beaches and leading parades comes to an abrupt end. A desperate search for the girls takes him from seaside bars and abandoned farms to million dollar estates and cobbled-together shacks.  As Nichols doggedly unearths scraps of information and deciphers a steady flow of half-truths, he finds a darkness coursing through ts Laurel's sunny, tree-lined streets. He races to piece together the girls' disappearance, knowing that doing so may tear the façade off his postcard-perfect town.

When charismatic entrepreneur Adam Springbrook turns up dead on a crisp October afternoon, the discovery shatters Police Chief LT Nichols' offseason peace-and-quiet. He finds that Springbrook's plan to transform the fishing village of Laurel, Maine into a jet-set resort has nearly everyone in town on edge. Wherever Nichols turns, suspects emerge. Nothing is as it should be. And that may have dire consequences for Nichols and those closest to him.
