From Rob Thomas, the creator of groundbreaking television series and movie Veronica Mars, comes the first book in a thrilling new mystery series.
Ten years after graduating from high school in Neptune, California, Veronica Mars is back in the land of sun, sand, crime, and corruption. She's traded in her law degree for her old private investigating license, struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big case.
Now it's spring break, and college students descend on Neptune, transforming the beaches and boardwalks into a frenzied, week-long rave. When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is called in to investigate. But this is not a simple missing person's case. The house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and soon Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking connection to Veronica's past, the case hits closer to home than she ever imagined
Veronicas Mars was one of the best shows on TV when I was in
high school, and as we all know where the best shows go: TV Gold Heaven. And then there was the movie. Finally. And we
got everything we didn't get in the non-ending of season three. And now we have
book versions! Book. Versions. Okay, I was a little apprehensive because
Veronicas one of those characters you either get...or don't. And would that
still show? Her voice still sound like her voice? It's all how it translates on
the page, despite Rob Thomas. I don't know what I was worried about really.
