Murder on Mackinac Roy E Ault

Murder on Mackinac is a mystery thriller set on the magnificent resort island of Mackinac, Michigan. The backdrop is The Grand Hotel. Ira Dempsey gives up his PI business to become police chief of Mackinac City since he thinks nothing happens there and he can drift through the years to retirement. Little does he know what is in store. Drugs, sex, murder and alligators are the mainstays of this fast paced novel. No alligators on Mackinac? But there are on Gasparilla Island in Florida, where Ira finds himself pursuing the killer. The staid and venerable Gasparilla Inn where the Bush families stay when they come to the island plays a prominent role in this thriller. The question becomes: can Ira find the killer before death becomes his final retirement plan.
