The Clam Shack Detective Agency
A Seaside Village Mystery

About this book:

Piper Higgins has twenty-seven dollars, a shattered phone, and a brand-new inheritance: Artie’s Clam Shack, a rotting pile of driftwood on a foggy Maine pier. It’s got forty years of fossilized grease, cracked vinyl booths, and a neon sign that only says “CM.” It’s also the first thing she’s ever owned outright—and she’s not letting some slick developer tear it down for a yacht-club promenade.

But Piper has until Friday to pass a health inspection run by an inspector in the developer’s pocket. Armed with a bucket of industrial degreaser, a scraper, and a crew of unlikely allies, she’s ready to save the shack. Then a body turns up in the salt marsh, and Artie’s Place becomes more than a restaurant—it becomes the headquarters for a very unofficial detective agency.

Equal parts cozy mystery and seaside underdog story, *The Clam Shack Detective Agency* serves up salt air, suspicion, and a killer secret buried beneath the boardwalk. Come for the fried clams. Stay to catch a murderer before the tide comes in.
