His and Herons: A Glenn and Glenda Oak Island Mystery

By Lance Carney

Book Overview

The quirky patrons and owners of No Egrets are back, ready to solve another Oak Island mystery or two (or three)

His & Herons is the highly anticipated fourth book in the humorous Oak Island series, which began with Ripped Tide, the winner of the McGrath House Indie Award for Humor.

When Glenn buys an antique medicine cabinet and moves it next to the Wurlitzer-much to his wife Glenda's chagrin-he gets far more than a vintage piece of furniture. A secret black notebook falls out from behind a drawer, followed closely by a small metal box Velcroed to the frame.

The notebook contains chemical structures and the results of fifty-year-old experiments; the box contains bizarre trinkets, including a gold tooth. The notebook takes Glenn down a path half a century into the past, while the box leads Glenda down another in the present. Both trails lead to the same destination: murder.

Meanwhile, a midnight menace is digging mysterious holes all over Southport and Oak Island...

The regulars are back for more craziness-including Matilda, the ancient Vespa-riding barfly; Richard Crabgrass, ham actor extraordinaire; and Pinhead Paul, the odiferous fish cleaner from the Southport docks. Series favorite Daniel O'Dwyer even pops in to lend his assistance. Add two new bartenders, a mysterious old hippie biker, a green anole enamored with a stuffed swordfish, and an ugly black pug named Bela, and you have a recipe for pure, unadulterated zany fun.

Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and Christopher Moore, His and Herons delivers a dash of mystery, a splash of cozy, and a whole lot of heart.
