Jake Sands
Created by Ron Ely

When his family is murdered, JAKE SANDS retires from life as a "recoverer of missing objects and people" to hang out with the beach folks in Santa Barbara, California. But somehow, trouble still seems to come a-creepin'. Kirkus Reviews describes Sands as a "Travis McGee wannabe" and a "Santa Barbara Spenser." Another reviewer called him "Travis McGee meets Baywatch." You get the idea.

I haven't tried this series yet, created by former TV Tarzan Ron Ely, but many reviewers praise it as well-written and fast-paced. There are two entries so far:

NOVELS

• Night Shadows (1994)
• East Beach (1995)

Contributed by Gerald So for the heads up on this one.
