Provincetown, spiraling from the tip of Cape Cod, has long been a place of freedom, escape, diversity, and risk. Mark Winslow, a Boston comic, arrives with his troupe of actors, ready to break into the Provincetown club circuit. But the town and the region are far from peaceful this summer. When a public fight makes Mark the prime suspect in the grisly death of a Boston blueblood, Mark believes his choice is simple. He must find the killer or be charged with the crime.
Amid the clam shacks and craft shops, art galleries and nude beaches, undercurrents are pulling at the surface of normality. Could the disappearance of a famous painter eighty years in the past—and the story of his masterpiece, “The Fisher Boy”—somehow lie at the center of the whirlpool of evil threatening to extinguish Mark’s life?
Anable's murder mystery plays out in the town of Provincetown on Cape Cod, a resort known for its gay visitors. Bostonian Mark Winslow and his comedy improv troupe arrive to play the clubs for the summer. Soon after, a threat is made to the gay community and a homophobic sect invades the town to protest the exhibition of a 1916 nude portrait, THE FISHER BOY. Then a friend of Mark's is murdered right after he and Mark have a very public argument. Naturally, Mark is a suspect. Paul Michael Garcia narrates with a passion for delving into character, relating Mark's thoughts as if they were his own. Garcia creates full-bodied characters that will engage listeners from start to finish. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

“Ingenious plotting and witty prose lift Anable's distinctive debut….A profusion of diverting red herrings and a clever twist…help keep the suspense high through to the surprising conclusion.”
