Description
There's more fireworks down the Jersey shore in Chris Grabenstein's sixth fast-paced John Ceepak mystery Rolling Thunder. A prominent citizen suffers a heart attack on opening day of a brand new boardwalk roller coaster in the seedy seaside resort town Sea Haven, New Jersey. Initially ruled a tragic accident, it isn't long before there are suspicious hints of foul play-especially after another dead body is discovered: a stunning young beach beauty.
Fortunately for mystery lovers, the straight-arrow cop John Ceepak and his wise-cracking young partner Danny Boyle are on the case, a detective/sidekick duo critics have compared to Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin.

Reviews / Votes
"This series offers far more than a beach-book romp. Taut and satisfying crime fiction." -- Booklist "Full of unpredictable twists and turns. There's plenty of fizz in the chemistry between the two protagonists to keep the novel and the reader spinning." -- Boston Globe "A fast-paced thrill ride with lots of twists and turns and good writing from start to finish." -- James Patterson "A fun series." -- Marilyn Stasio - The New York Times "Vivid local color and sharply drawn characters-especially as dramatized in the contrast between the partners' attitudes-help make the pages fly." -- Publishers Weekly "Thoughtful, funny and exciting." -- Dick Adler - Chicago Tribune "Briskly paced, well plotted, and narrated with a cynical humor that makes it a real joy to read." -- The Detroit Free Press "A nearly perfect read." -- Mystery Scene MagazineMore details
