Vineyard Stalker: A Martha`s Vineyard Mystery, Craig Philip R.

With his wife, Zee, and two kids visiting relatives in America, J.W. is alone and quickly tiring of his temporary bachelor status when a request from Carole Cohen comes as a blessed diversion.

Carole wants J.W. to find the person whos stalking her brother, Roland. Known locally as The Monk for his reclusive ways, Roland lives on a beautiful piece of Vineyard real estate that he co-owns with his cousin, Sally Oliver.

A number of people, including Sally, would do almost anything to convince Roland to sell his valuable property. But does that include violence?

J.W. is happy to take on what looks like a short and easy assignment, though he soon realizes that Roland may lead a more complicated life than his austere living arrangements suggest. And when a body turns up near Rolands land, what seemed like a property dispute takes a detour into murder -- with J.W. in the midst of the action once again.
