Interesting History
The mystery of a dead body washed up on the beach leads to mysteries buried in a small town's long distant past for Mike and Alex. It's interesting but gets a bit slow to reveal itself leading to my four star review.

Great read, but disappointing about the racist descriptions of characters.
