In his latest adventure, "Death on Mt. Pleasant", we find our hero Mickke D back in his home town, where he is trying to help an old high school friend determine whether or not his friends sister's tragic death was an accident or a horrific homicide. As usual, he ends up hip-deep in bad guys and twisted plots along the way. Eventually returning to Myrtle Beach, he finds things are heating up there as well, and it's not the outside temperature. Has his old salvage friend TC finally discovered the location of the buried pirate treasure? Who else may be looking for the treasure? Has his old flame Beverly resurfaced and if so, how will he react? And last but not least, when he and TC end up in the Caribbean, is someone from his past out to end his life? If you enjoyed the first two books in the Mickke D Grand Strand Murder Mystery series, "Murder on the Front Nine" and "Cougars at the Beach", you will not want to miss this third action-packed thriller. A must read for your easy chair or your beach read bag.

If you enjoy a good mystery/thriller adventure and a travel story, Steve McMillen's first novel, "Murder on the Front Nine", set in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina, offers both. It's a wild ride with a charismatic, soon to be crime solving Realtor/Architect/Golf Pro, who also just happens to be an ex-Green Beret. It is a tale of assassinations, black ops, corrupt politicians, big oil, betrayal, a drug cartel, and a treasure hunt, with a twist, off the South Carolina coast. You can read Steve's book on two levels. Simply as a good murder, mystery, thriller, whodunit yarn, in a southern beach setting, which is how the majority of the readers will percieve it. The other level is with a local's and visitor's delight in recognizing familiar resorts, restaurants, golf courses and other local features. Many a reader will be able to say, "Been there, done that." The tale begins on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, a remote, upscale golf resort island along the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. Mickke D allows himself to be drawn into an assassination investigation by three of his old army buddies, who he has not seen in fifteen years. Bodies begin piling up, planes are blown up, buildings are burned down and Mickke D discovers that maybe one of his old army buddies may not be as much of a friend as he once thought. The story meanders down the coast to Little River, SC; and makes a stop during the playing of the World Amateur Golf Tournament in Myrtle Beach. It makes side trips to Charleston, SC, Panama City Beach, Fl, Las Vegas and Washington, DC. There are plots within plots and the reader will have to figure out the bad guys from the good guys; who they like and who they dislike. And will Mickke D be able to face his past demons head-on and make a transition from a rather mundane way of life "at the beach", back to investigator and highly trained soldier without meeting his demise along the way. If you enjoy golf, the beach or just a good murder, mystery, thriller; this book is for you. It is an entertaining, easy, fun read. You will just want to continue turning pages.

"Cougars at the Beach" is Steve McMillen's second installment in the Mickke D Grand Strand murder mystery series. His first book "Murder on the Front Nine", got rave reviews on Amazon, Kindle and from the public in general. The setting for the second book is the same as the first, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Mickke D, an ex-Green Beret, real estate broker and part-time private investigator, accepts the task of trying to locate a missing person for a real estate friend of his. How much of a problem can a missing persons case be for a private investigator? He soon discovers he is hunting for a serial killer and that the serial killer, as well as some old friends from Colombia, are hunting him as well. As in the first book, Steve includes a lot of local history along with local settings, including the new Boardwalk, The Sky Wheel, golf courses, resorts, restaurants, wine festivals, and a boat chase on the waterway. Anyone who lives in the Myrtle Beach area or has ever visited the area will recognize these local features and will be able to say "been there, done that." This fast-paces, drama-filled, page-turner will keep you on the edge of your chair all the way through. If you're looking for a great beach read or just a good murder mystery whodunit, "Cougars at the Beach", is for you.
