The Singer in the Sound: A Weston Wolf Outer Banks Detective Novel

by Joe C. Ellis

Overview

When a local fisherman hires Weston Wolf to find out what happened to his talented daughter, the savvy detective and his partner, Angie Stallone, discover a series of clues that lead to salacious crimes and celebrity scandal. Along the way, Wolf meets Freyja Beck, a unique and beautiful woman who was once an aspiring singer and actress. Her connection to the movie industry could be the key to unraveling the mystery of the missing girl and acquiring the evidence to nail one of Hollywood's most celebrated producers.

In the spirit of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Joe C. Ellis has weaved together a fast-paced noir detective novel set on the Outer Banks with a menagerie of unusual characters. This second book in the WESTON WOLF OUTER BANKS DETECTIVE SERIES is the follow up to the extremely popular ROANOKE ISLAND MURDERS: A Modern Retelling of the Maltese Falcon.
