Summer in Portside: The beach! The gelato! The murder…

Belinda’s peace from scandal and her grandmother is short-lived when a painting – and then a body – wash up on her favorite beach. As she and Bennett team with Det. Jonas Parker to figure out how the two connect, a possible art forgery comes to light – and another victim.

Belinda continues to grow into her new role as a part-time amateur detective, swimming through suspects and broken connections, while Bennett starts to rebuild his life, and Jonas breaks free from work to pursue a potential new romance.

With the heat of summer upon them, the future is more unpredictable than ever.

No one answered, but music came clearly through the doors. “Angie?” Belinda yelled, knocking louder. Then she tried the knob, but the door was locked. She glanced at Victoria. “What do you think?”

Victoria pulled out a hardcore, legitimate lock pick.

“When did you get that?! Or more to the point, where?”

Victoria grinned wickedly. “Wouldn’t you like to know? I got one for you, too.” In seconds, she cracked open the door. Belinda shooed her to the side, sticking her head in enough to see. “Angie?” Belinda said again.

They glanced around before squeezing inside, closing the door quietly. Instead of smelling like car oil, it stunk like soldering smoke. Metal scraps and slivers were all over the floor like she’d been working recently, though Belinda found it strange she’d have the doors closed in that environment. Especially with the heat.

Belinda skimmed the contents of the small desk pushed into a back corner, an old ladder Angie had hacked to pieces in a pile next to it. Belinda guessed that was part of the recycling Angie used. “Her phone’s still here.” And the doors were shut and locked. Goosebumps rushed up her arms to her neck. Something wasn’t right. Belinda wasn’t sure why, but she didn’t think they should touch anything.

“Maybe she ran out for something quick. She could even be in the owner’s house. Maybe she had to use the bathroom.” Victoria yanked open a door on a tall cabinet on the adjacent wall. It opened with a lurch and Victoria screamed at the top of her lungs as a body toppled out, grazing Victoria before she could jump out of the way. She backed up into the garage door, her hazel eyes wide and face pale.
