Lewis Cole #4
Killer Waves by Brendan DuBois is a highly recommended mystery. Originally published 4/26/2014, this is a re-release and the fourth in the eleven book series.
Lewis Cole wakes up early to watch the Space shuttle Endeavour fly over his house in Tyler Beach, New Hampshire, when he notices red and blue flashing lights in the state park. He walks over to see what is happening and sees a dead man in a car in the parking lot and two officers waiting for the state police. The state police don't show up, but three cars pull up with obviously some branch of federal agents inside. Later Cole has a visit from them which eventually results in Cole being forced to assist in their investigation. They claim to be from the DEA and are looking into drug smuggling. Cole reluctantly uncovers more information than the agents expected.
This is an even paced mystery with an interesting plot. While I
haven't read any other novels in the series, that presented no real
problem. All the characters are unique, however, as can be the case in a
series, not are all fully developed here. This won't hamper your
enjoyment of Killer Waves. After starting reading and not knowing
my copy was a re-release of a previously published novel, I quickly
picked up clues. The first clue is the Endeavour. The second will be small town papers being printed. There are several others that pop-up while reading.
