Merrick McKnight Mystery Books

A desperate, late-night phone call. A girl in trouble. A man with a guilt-haunted heart. Lightning flashes out over the Gulf. Thunder rolls down Panama City Beach. Thousands of bikers have descended on the Miracle Strip for one of America’s premier biker rallies, but a storm is blowing in, its relentless approach pitiless, menacing. Amid the bikes and beer and bikinis, crimes of unspeakable brutality are being committed—one of which touches too close to home for former reporter Merrick McKnight. Now, chasing down a vicious killer like the elusive lead of a once-in-a-career type exclusive, Merrick is living the story of his life—and that’s just what it might cost him. Take a nocturnal tour of Panama City like only a local can give. Experience the endless party, collect the clues, listen to the lies, search for the truth. Between crashes of thunder, a killer strikes, and a young woman’s life hangs in the balance. Merrick will do anything he can to save her, but will that be enough?

Merrick McKnight is back . . . in the thrilling sequel to THUNDER BEACH! "Lister’s ability to prevent even a seasoned mystery aficionado from figuring out the end of this simple yet puzzling situation sets this book apart from mediocre novels that inundate the genre. His work will attract lovers of the Agatha Christie tradition and capture an open-minded crowd looking for a contemporary twist. Crafted to near perfection with an underlying, definitive reason behind the murders, this riveting intrigue explores every possible avenue to no avail then turns down a less-traveled road and delivers a shock."
