Pretty Paper. A Folly Beach Mystery

The theft of a Rolex worth more than most new vehicles begins a series of burglaries casting a dark shadow on the Christmas season for Folly Beach, the small South Carolina barrier island. The number of suspects drastically increases when Mackey's Miracle Troupe, a group of singers and actors, arrives on Folly. The Troupe's leader Peter Mackey claims the visit is to bring an upbeat message to the community while performing good deeds throughout the island, but its arrival at the same time the burglaries begin is too coincidental to be overlooked.
With the police spinning their wheels, it's up to retired bureaucrat Chris Landrum and Charles Fowler, a self-proclaimed private detective, to wade through potential suspects and catch the thief or thieves. With Christmas only hours away, will the unlikely detectives succeed in bringing joy, peace, and good tidings back to their beloved island?
