Ghost in Paradise: Murder Comes to Melbourne Beach

By: Richard Maule

It is Florida in 1908. Like so many others, Clay Knight has come to Melbourne Beach in search of solitude, sunshine, and a fresh start. Everything changes when an invisible assailant tries to murder him on Ocean Avenue. Four rifle shots suddenly turn Clay's dreams of paradise into a nightmare. With a killer on the prowl, the fledgling town is buzzing. Who is this mysterious shooter and why would he target a quiet man like Clay? In a peaceful resort that's never seen a crime, who will step up to protect the community? In A Ghost in Paradise, award-winning author Richard Maule (Moonlight Helmsman, and The Witch's Advocate) presents a fascinating picture of Melbourne Beach's early years, when tourists and pioneers fought to turn a mosquito-infested wilderness into a seaside oasis. In this setting, Clay Knight must make a life-changing choice. Will he flee to safety, or stay to face his fears, his stalker, and the ominous ghosts of his past?
