Overview

Private investigator Max Drake has a knack for stumbling into mysteries-literally. When the prized antique turkey costume from the Galveston Holiday Opera's Thanksgiving production goes missing just days before their big TV special, Max takes on the case with his usual mix of unorthodox methods and wild theories. Armed with his trusty magnifying glass and an overactive imagination, Max's investigation leads him on a madcap adventure across Galveston Island. From staking out the Galveston-Port Bolivar Ferry to constructing elaborate sandcastle surveillance posts, Max manages to solve several actual crimes while pursuing his increasingly outlandish theories about turkey-costume smuggling rings and underground waterpark conspiracies. Accompanied by the long-suffering Detective Sarah Carlison, his supportive best friend Kira, and conspiracy theorist Rufus O'Reilly, Max might just crack this case wide open-even if it's completely by accident. A cozy mystery filled with humor, heart, and more than a few mishaps, "Turkey Tales" is a delightful romp through the colorful streets of Galveston that will leave readers laughing and wondering what bizarre adventure Max Drake will stumble into next. Perfect for fans of light-hearted mysteries who enjoy quirky characters, coastal settings, and a healthy dose of comedy with their crime-solving.
