Deal Ends: Fri 14th November

Private eye Jim Knighthorse just wanted a quiet vacation with his girlfriend Cindy at a quaint seaside inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Ocean views, overpriced seafood, and absolutely no dead bodies.That was the plan.But when a woman is found murdered in a locked hotel room -- with a sand dollar placed delicately in her mouth -- Jim's plans vanish like fog over the Pacific. The victim is a ghost from the past, hiding under an alias, and the inn is packed with quirky guests, each more suspicious than the last. Someone here is lying. Someone here is watching. And someone might just be next.Armed with sharp instincts, a sarcastic streak, and his two fists, Jim digs into the mystery. What he uncovers will take him from hidden beach trails to a shell shop with secrets, and straight into a deadly web that someone has gone to great lengths to keep buried.Knighthorse is at his best: witty, wisecracking, and unwilling to let a murder go unsolved... even on vacation.Fans of Knives Out will love this modern locked-room mystery with heart, humor, and a seaside vibe.
