Beneath the Dune by Walter Ramsay

I totally enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.
The story takes place in central FL and the main character, Tucker Lee Anderson, is a sports writer for a local newspaper. He is asked to investigate, when a colleague is sick, the finding of a child’s bones in a sand dune. You then learn some of the history of the Seminole Indians whom originally settled the area. We then begin to learn the extent of how a cover up was started more than a 100 years ago. It continues to the present time and turns extremely dangerous. Tyler’s childhood friend Craig, a detective, agrees with Tyler that something is very wrong and the finding of the bones, for some reason is being covered up. Craig, Tucker’s boss, although he is threatened along with Tyler, eventually realizes that the newspaper has to help with the investigation.
P.S. Sometimes books take 4 pages to explain something that amounts to one sentence. This book was the exact opposite which, with the story, was a delightful experience.
