When Nantucket homeowner Preston Lomax is killed, everyone on the island could be a suspect. Lomax lived large, owed money, and the word was spreading he was planning to stiff them all and disappear. Chief of Police Henry Kennis, a newcomer from California, investigates with help from the State Police. Together they solve the case-or so it appears. But Kennis can't shake the feeling that they've missed something.

Kennis soon discovers scandals, intrigues and an eclectic cast of local characters-oddball journalists, surfing carpenters, drug dealers, wealthy homeowners and their slacker children. Kennis uncovers a truth that lies somewhere between the bad blood and the good neighbors.

Reviews for Nantucket Sawbuck

Axelrod has a gift for characterization and a strong lead in Kennis. Nantucketers might bristle at the cynical portrait of their home, but his mystery debut gives the island as much personality as its varied inhabitants. - Kirkus Reviews Kennis is an honorable small-town cop whom readers will root for. - Karen Keefe, Booklist Nantucket Sawbuck is a rare delight-a well-written small-town mystery that feels like life, complete with suspects who are the sort of people who commit murders and a police chief who's capable of catching them at it. Read this book. - Thomas Perry ...this is a promising start for a new author. - Publishers Weekly Axlerod is a full speed, powerhouse of a writer. - Domenic Stansberry, Edgar Award-Winning Author of Naked Moon
