MA DI CHE PARLIAMO? Max Fried è un ex esperto di informatica forense che dedica la vita a nuotare, bere…
e fare il bagno sotto il sole caldo della Florida, ma oggi...è proprio una giornataccia. C'è un assassino in arrivo. Quando un suadente avvocato convince Max a trovare i beni di un cliente morto, lui accetta, pensando che sarà una passeggiata. Al contrario, un vecchio assassino con una nuova identità entra in casa di Max e ruba il computer del cliente. Max non sa che il computer contiene indizi per un assassinio vecchio di 20 anni, ma d'altra parte l'assassino non sa che Max ha una copia di tutti i file del computer rubato sul suo iPod. Purtroppo per il cattivo, la copia contiene le prove che lo porteranno alla condanna a morte. Ora, Max è l'ultimo ancora in vita che sa perché le persone muoiono. Se riuscirà a battere l'assassinio in astuzia, potrà tornare al suo sgabello e al suo bar sulla spiaggia. In caso contrario, diventerà la vittima numero cinque. SPIAGGE, PUPE E PALLOTTOLE è un giallo con un avvocato playboy, una ricca ereditiera, il nostro esaminatore forense preferito e, ah già, una manciata di morti, qualche poliziotto e un assassino. Max e io abbiamo lavorato entrambi come esperti forensi nel settore informatico, abbiamo la licenza da investigatore privato e viviamo su un'isoletta. Però non ditegli che solo uno di noi due è reale.
