Under The Sand (The Leslie Elliott Mystery Series)

In this latest installment of the Leslie Elliott mystery series, the tranquility of Anibonie Island (just off of Florida's Gulf Coast) is shattered by a carefully orchestrated and violent kidnapping plot. Well-heeled brothers Victor and Hugo Clerk are the targets of the criminals; a note demanding $200 million in ransom informs the police that the men will be buried alive until the money is paid.

Among them are public relations expert Leslie Elliott, who recently moved to the island to start a new career as a mystery writer, and her friend, Wes Avery, a newspaper reporter from the Midwest who gave up his big-city job and now writes for the island's paper. They are assisted by Alex Pendry a young, inexperienced sheriff's deputy; Ray Santiago, a fireman' and the fearless Gene Miller, whose day job is to reduce the island's increasingly destructive iguana population. In this page-turning thriller, readers will be carried along, fully engaged as the twists and turns of the plot produce unexpected revelations.
