Port Starbird

Garrett Dennis

MYSTERY, HISTORY, AND ADVENTURE ON THE OUTER BANKS! Where is Port Starbird? Read this quirky & engaging tale and find out! Friends help you move; best friends help you move the body! Storm 'Ketch' Ketchum, a damaged emigre to the coastal town of Avon on North Carolina's Outer Banks, likes to mind his own business and isn't any kind of detective - until he's forced to become one by extraordinary circumstances. On the verge of losing his modest waterfront home to an unscrupulous developer, Ketch stumbles onto the scene of a crime that might expose the perpetrator of an unsolved murder and enable him to save not only his own home, but also the similarly threatened Bohemian boatyard community he's inexorably drawn into. And in case Plan A fails, he's hard at work on a Plan B that's both laudable and pitiable. Together with his loyal dog, a salty charter boat captain, the sketchy denizens of the boatyard, and an alluring scuba diving instructor who may or may not have a hidden agenda, Ketch struggles to make sense of his new reality, while trying to save some of the things that really matter along the way. Red City Review Book Awards - FINALIST "The characters are so well written that you almost want to invite them to your next barbeque." - Red City Review "Dennis has woven a thick line of suspense through a coastal cultural dark comedy." - Bookstore Reviewer "If you're pining for John D. MacDonald and Travis McGee, Ketch might be your guy." - Noir Jimmy Duration - 8h 26m. Author - Garrett Dennis. Narrator - DJ Holte. Published Date - Sunday, 22 January 2023.
