"The Guncle meets Every Time I Go On Vacation Someone Dies in this fun, twisty mystery following a spoiled nepo baby forced to work at a struggling summer camp who stumbles into a real-life murder mystery he has no choice but to solve. Rustic cabins. Lakefront bonfires. A painfully hot lifeguard. And a murder? Summer has never been this camp. Mikey Hartford IV has coasted through his twenties in a distracted blur of yachts and sex and partying. But when his father discovers his latest million-dollar impulse buy and changes the terms of his trust, the partys finally over. Now, unless Mikey can make a positive contribution to the world before his thirtieth birthday-one that doesnt involve throwing cash at his problems-hell never see another yacht again.
(Or even so much as a canoe.) Enter Camp Lore, a struggling summer camp in upstate New York where Mikey has to work as the oldest, least-qualified staffer to prove that he can "do good" alongside his twelve-year-old aunt. (Yes, aunt.) But Mikey isnt sure hell be able to survive the camps ramshackle living conditions, let alone the gaggle of preteens who wont leave his side. And when his campers become obsessed with a local legend set at an abandoned cabin on the grounds, Mikeys chances of not making it through the summer become dangerously real. Because it turns out theres a murder hidden beneath Camp Lore. And someone there will stop at nothing to keep it that way. Solving a decade-old cold case will surely be enough "good" for Mikey to earn his inheritance.
He just has to stay alive long enough to do it."-- Provided by publisher.
