From Rob Thomas, the creator of the television series and movie
phenomenon Veronica Mars, comes the first book in a thrilling mystery
series that picks up where the feature film left off.
Ten years after graduating from high school in Neptune, California,
Veronica Mars is back in the land of sun, sand, crime, and corruption.
She's traded in her law degree for her old private investigating
license, struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash
earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big
case.
Now it's spring break, and college students descend on Neptune,
transforming the beaches and boardwalks into a frenzied, week-long rave.
When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is called in to
investigate. But this is no simple missing person's case; the house the
girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and soon
Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized
crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking
connection to Veronica's past, the case hits closer to home than she
ever imagined.
In Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas has created a groundbreaking female
detective who's part Phillip Marlowe, part Nancy Drew, and all snark.
With its sharp plot and clever twists, The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line
will keep you guessing until the very last page.
