Strangers on the Beach

Billionaire Ferdinand Sevigny is brave, bold, and brash. But his latest stunt—to sail blindfolded, single-handed, across the Atlantic—goes horribly awry, depositing him onto the summer tourist town of Old Orchard Beach, Maine. His sudden arrival triggers a series of sinister events that even he cannot forestall: a naked woman washes up on a beach; a confused teen-aged boy stumbles upon a crime; a naive policeman struggles with a deadly conflict of interest. Now, Sevigny, and all those whose lives he touches, must make decisions that will define them forever.
