Synopsis
Lawyer-turned-beach-motel-operator Dallas Henry is drawn away from idle days in Ocean City, Maryland, to investigate the supposed suicide of Judd Fitch, a promising college student who died with Dallas' business card in his pocket.
With the aid of an unusual array of beachcombing sidekicks, Dallas discovers that Judd was living two lives, one of them deadly.

About the Author
Preston Pairo III is a Maryland attorney and the author of BREACH OF TRUST, and two other Dallas Henry mysteries, THE CAPTAIN DROWNS and ONE DEAD JUDGE.
From Kirkus Reviews
Pairo (Winner's Cut, 1986, etc.) returns with a hip, quirky, and mean introduction to sun-bum Dallas Henry, a 35-year-old lawyer turned Ocean City motel proprietor, whose business card was in the pocket of a ``jumper''--Judson Fitch, a student on sabbatical from Stanford. Did Jud jump or was he pushed? His prissy stockbroker sister Teresa Jane wants to know, as do the local cops, but everywhere that Dallas turns he either gets a beating or another corpse shows up, including that of young Jeannie Hall--an eyewitness to the ``jump''--and that of a nameless drug- runner/money-launderer from New York. Following the money trail leads Dallas to wealthy widow Olivia Miles and party-house pool-boy Adam (her lover), who probably killed Olivia's husband while cashing in on insider-trader tips--as Jud did. Two more murders occur before Dallas links Jud's death with an elaborate stay-rich scheme and before Teresa Jane, emotionally thawed out, heads back to the city. Wry dissection of the beach culture--and of the surf-loving Dallas and his sidekicks, Herbie the dropout genius and Susan the brainy lawyer--are all top-notch. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st ed., with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. "An easygoing style laced with humor makes for an entertaining and suspenseful series debut. When one of his business cards is found among Judson Fitch's effects, Ocean City, Md., motel owner and part-time attorney Dallas Henry is hired by New York stock analyst Teresa Jane Fitch to find out why her brother jumped from a condo balcony. Having given up the law for the lure of the surf, Dallas isn't excited about accepting actual work, but agrees to look into the young man's death. In pursuit of information--and not immune to having fun at the same time--Dallas goes to Ocean City's notorious collegiate party house and talks to students about Jud, who had been arrested for drug possession. When he finds a dead man in the spare bedroom of Jud's condo and the trail of clues leads to yet another fatality linked to Jud, Dallas finally puts it all together. With occasional lapses in the moonlit surf with Teresa Jane, Dallas strolls the fine line between reluctant amateur detective and devoted beach idler, animating this appealing mystery" -- Publishers Weekly.
