Death By Chowder

2017

Jay Hallett leaves a flourishing law career in Boston to return to his hometown of Anchor Point on Cape Cod. He secretly purchases the local lighthouse and surrounding property to open The Shipwreck Cafe. Rich in history, the lighthouse is rumored to be haunted by multiple ghosts and hiding a buried treasure worth millions. Robbie, Jay's brother, surfs by day and tends bar at the cafe by night. He doesn't like the ghosts, but it's okay because they don't like him either. Stormy, an abandoned golden retriever who has been living at the lighthouse, is adopted by Jay. Together, they move in to the keeper's cottage. Two murders in as many weeks transpire in Anchor Point. Who is killing the locals and why? Jay, Robbie and Roland Knowles, one of the ghosts, must work together to bring answers and peace back to their beloved town.

Summer had passed, and the holidays were fast approaching. Everyone at the Shipwreck Café was getting ready for The Seashells and Christmas Bells Ball. Jay, true to his word, delivers a letter to the selectman of Anchor Point stating his intentions of taking his privately-owned beach and parking lot back from town use. Sid Swann, a selectman used to getting his own way, confronts Jay in public about his decision and heated words are exchanged. The next morning, Sid is found murdered in his office at the town hall and Jay is the number one suspect. Can he clear his name and find the real murderer when half the town wanted Sid gone? Will Jay be able to restore his reputation in time to sell enough tickets to the ball to help fund his new museum, The Tunnel of Ships? New ghosts and a hundred-year-old mystery add to the hectic holiday season. Come visit Anchor Point where ghosts roam freely, and family is everything.
