Wildwood Exit

By Joel E. Turner

A deadly family vendetta at a Jersey Shore restaurant pulls John McGinty (aka Ginty) into a dark world of embezzlement, drug-dealing, a lying wife and a junkie son.

Ginty has just stepped in as the manager of a Wildwood restaurant owned by his friend, Lou Scolletta, after Lou fires the old manager for dipping in the till.

Ginty starts out ordering rolls of salami and bottles of Galliano, but quickly becomes Lou's consigliere, picking up questionable packages from sketchy associates; tailing Lou's wife Concetta on her furtive trips to Cape May; scouring the Jersey Shore for Lou's son, Davy, a junkie on the lam; and wondering why a possibly bent State Trooper keeps showing up everywhere he goes.

Things in Ginty's world don't improve when a drug shipment goes wrong, a blackmail note appears...and a body is found floating in Delaware Bay.

Ginty is now the unwilling-yet trusted-confidante of all the Scollettas, and realizes that everyone in this twisted family circle is in danger-including himself.

WILDWOOD EXIT is as sordid as it is comic, and should be on every beach towel from Asbury Park to Cape May.
