Peter Mullins is a valet at the swanky Memorial Day party always held by one of the most respected families in East Hampton. When he goes down to the beach to meet someone who had sent him a pink, heavily scented note, he runs into the men who would turn into his killers.

Jack Mullins is a law student who's landed a summer job at one of the most prominent law firms in New York. When he gets off the train and is greeted by his father, grandfather, and crying girlfriend Dana, daughter of the family who had held the party, he knows something is wrong with Peter. After all, he was the only one missing from the welcoming committee. When Dana tells him that Peter had drowned in the water and his beaten body had washed up on the shore near her home, Jack immediately knows that something is wrong. Peter hated being cold so why would he go swimming in the ocean at this time of the year? He knew he had to figure out the real story and fast. That's when he starts to find out that he didn't know his brother or their rich neighbors in the Hamptons as well as he had thought he had. The knowledge he gains from his investigation into the lives of the suspects puts him, his friends, and his family in immediate danger. Can Jack and his outspoken Irish grandfather expose the truth before it's too late?

This audio book is read by Gil Bellows. You may remember him as Billy on "Ally McBeal" and the show "The Agency". His exceptional talent as an actor explodes on the tapes as he changes his voice for every character, giving them even more distinction and life than James Patterson and Peter De Jonge have in their exceptional (and truly unique) writing…if that's even possible. It's a mind-bending, body-numbing plot with characters that will haunt my memory for the rest of my natural life. I definitely recommend this audio book.
