Flashback: A Reid Bennett Mystery

Chief Reid Bennett and his "super-sleuth" dog tackle the crimes of Murphy's Harbor in this "fairly sturdy, small-town tale, with quiet appeal" (Kirkus Reviews).

In tiny Murphy's Harbour, where Reid Bennett serves as the one-man police force, questions and dead bodies tend to pile up all at once. The morning starts with Reid chasing off a gang of threatening teens with a baseball bat. Minutes later, Reid learns that a bank robber might be headed his way looking for vengeance. But the day does not really start rolling until Reid finds a dead woman in the trunk of a waterlogged car. What follows is a fast-paced thriller involving rich lawyers, a questionable movie producer, and quite a few shifting identities. Everyone seems to be circling everyone else in a complicated orbit of sex and money. Can all these events be tied together?
