The Mermaid Coast

The summer crowds have descended on the playground of the rich, where no one is prepared for what arrives next... When laid-back local Alec Costner makes his usual late-night visit to his favorite East Hampton beach, he hears screams coming from an oceanfront mansion. A moment later, he sees a naked woman plunge into the waves. Trying to save her, he watches in disbelief as two other women suddenly surface in the dark sea, taking the naked woman with them. At the mansion where the screams originated, is a dead millionaire, his neck twisted and broken. Within days, a scientist arrives, intent on finding evidence for the existence of mermaids. Soon, strange and terrifying encounters are documented. And men begin to disappear. The lure of the siren's song is proving to be as lethal as it's always been. From the Hamptons to England, to the dark recesses of History itself, Robert Woolcott's novel takes readers on a journey they will never forget.
