Palm Beach Getaway
VACATION FROM HELL!
Charlie Crawford and his brother, Cam, go on an idyllic, relaxing summer vacation together on a small lake town in southern New Hampshire. With them are Charlie’s favorite crime scene tech, Dominica, Cam’s movie star girlfriend, Avril, and his 9-year old daughter, Lexie. Swimming, hiking up a nearby mountain, leisurely playing tennis and golf and just plain chilling. Ah yes, the perfect vacation.
Meanwhile, at Souza-Baranowski prison just thirty-five miles away in Massachusetts, two murderous cons are carefully plotting their escape.
Three days later the dream vacation turns into a hellish nightmare.
"Turner's Palm Beach is a blend of desperate criminals, social climbers, merciless billionaires and surprising heroes," said Publishers Weekly.
“‘Highly entertaining!” said Kirkus Reviews.
