Charleston Buzz, a TV reality show, is a train wreck of losers, boozers, womanizers, and ne’er-do-wells. Thing is, the show’s as addictive as crack. One day its main character is discovered dead in bed, lacy panties tucked under the covers, his wife a thousand miles away. Violent Crimes Unit detectives Nick Janzek and Delvin Rhett swing into action, and within twenty-four hours they have five suspects…problem is they all have solid alibis.Meanwhile, across town, is that a clandestine brothel being run by the fat cats of Charleston? And what’s with all those college girls hanging out there?As Janzek and Rhett stumble along desperate for a break, one thing is clear: some of Charleston’s most prominent citizens are up to their eyeballs in all of it.

Nick Janzek is a Boston cop with a dark, tragic past. Dark because of his father's ties with Whitey Bulger. Tragic because of what happened to his wife. But now he’s starting over in Charleston. No brutal winters. No bullying despot of a boss. No staring down at stiffs on the mean streets of Beantown. As he drives into Charleston behind the wheel of a U-Haul, taking in the sweet smells of Confederate Jasmine and gardenias, he gets a call. And before he can even unpack, he’s got a murder on his hands. A murder that could change the entire face of Charleston.

For fans of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and Stuart Woods comes Tom Turner's "entertaining debut" (Publishers Weekly) set in glitzy Palm Beach, FL―where the residents are as treacherous as they are rich.Burned out by high-profile murders in New York and his love life splashed all over Page Six, homicide cop Charlie Crawford heads south and signs on with the Palm Beach PD. After months of petty crimes, he's first on scene to find a man hanging from a banyan tree. Prime suspects are a hedge-fund billionaire with a thing for young girls and a bartender with a sketchy past and a ten-out-of-ten creep factor. Right in the middle of it all is Crawford's girlfriend, a beautiful, conniving gallery owner, ready to do whatever it takes to move up a bracket or two. Add to the mix a sultry real estate broker who knows where all the bodies are buried, a gorgeous forensic cop often one step ahead of Crawford, a Mutt and Jeff combo of stone cold killers and you've got Palm Beach Nasty. "Turner's Palm Beach is a blend of desperate criminals, social climbers, merciless billionaires and surprising heroes," said Publishers Weekly. "Taut and efficient," Booklist said, and added, "it's a pleasure to watch craftsmen at work, and that describes the author as well as the cops."
