The OC

by D. P. Lyle

Overview

Jake Longly is hoping for a few weeks of fun with Nicole in the warm Orange County, CA sun—The OC, baby. But Nicole’s friend and local TV reporter Megan Weatherly has picked up an anonymous celebrity stalker, who manages to cover his trail as his harassment intensifies. Suddenly, the sunshine and safety of The OC seem more facade than reality—and the clock is ticking.

Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich
