FLOTSAM AND JETSAM
By: M. S. Spencer
The Plot:
Who’s littering the park with
corpses?
State Park Rangers Simon Ribault
and Ellie Ironstone are used to dealing
with messy campers and ravaging rac-
coons, but when three bodies wash up on
the beach, they mobilize all their powers
of deduction. Who are they and how did
they get to the shore of Amelia Island?
Are they connected to the secretive
League of the Green Cross? Or linked to
a mysterious Jamaican drug ring?
Ellie, new to Amelia Island, must penetrate a close-knit
community if she wants to find answers to the mystery, all while
deciding between two rivals for her affection: Thad, the hand-
some local idol, and Simon, the clever, quirky bookworm.
Simon, for his part, will have to call on his not-so-well-
honed romantic prowess to lure Ellie away from Thad and at
the same time use his wide-ranging research skills to solve the
case.
An Excerpt
Ellie systematically searched the stern, lifting up seat cush-
ions soaked from the rain and opening storage lockers. A rope
sat in a jumbled heap by the cockpit wall. Under a small fold-out
table, she noticed a red stain and bent down. It was dry. She
scraped her fingernail in it and brought it to her nose. ―Blood. I
found blood, Simon!‖
―A lot?‖
―Puddle about six inches in diameter.‖
―That’s nothing. I found a lot of blood. Oh, and a body.‖
