Turf and Surf – On Amazon Books

An idyllic tourist town finds itself home to a dangerous turf war in Bob Spearman’s riveting debut novel, Turf and Surf.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has long been a favorite tourist destination, but beneath the sunny exterior lies a dark power struggle in which locals, summer workers, tourists, and drug dealing gangsters fight for control.

Among them is Bo Jr. whose run-in at a mob-owned bar turns him into a hit-man-in-training. Best friends, Edna and Evelyn, navigate the perilous world of romance as one falls for a police officer—the other, for a mobster.

With a new drug gang riding into town, a serial kidnapper tying up summer workers, and a corrupt police force that looks the other way, tensions come to an explosive climax in this fun new read that will leave readers guessing until the last page.

“Grittier than the sand itself, Bob Spearman’s debut crime novel proves Myrtle Beach is not all fun and games.  As sure as the tide is rolling in, trouble is brewing in this action-packed crime thriller.”

Cindy Blackburn, author of The Cue Ball Mysteries series
