Snakes of St. Augustine - Paperback

by Ginger Pinholster (Author)

"... Take the leap: fall in love with Jazz, with Serena, with Fletch, with Rocky - maybe even with a ball python or a dusky pygmy rattler." Laura McBride, author of We Are Called to Rise and In the Midnight Room

The theft of Trina Leigh Dean's beloved snakes - including a rare Eastern indigo named Unicorn, Banana Splits the yellow ball python, and Bandit the banded king snake - coincides with the disappearance of a troubled young man named Gethin Jacobs. While his sister Serena searches for him, she gains an unlikely accomplice - Jazz, a homeless community college student. Meanwhile, Trina's friend Fletch, a burnt-out cop, scours St. Augustine, Florida, for the stolen snakes. His quest puts Fletch on a dangerous collision course with Gethin, raising questions about community, family, and the power of compassion.
