Synopsis from Goodreads
Ten years after graduating from high school in Neptune, California, Veronica Mars is back in the land of sun, sand, crime, and corruption. She’s traded in her law degree for her old private investigating license, struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big case.
Now it’s spring break, and college
students descend on Neptune, transforming the beaches and boardwalks into a
frenzied, week-long rave. When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is
called in to investigate. But this is no simple missing person’s case; the
house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and
soon Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized
crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking connection to
Veronica’s past, the case hits closer to home than she ever imagined.
In Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas
has created a groundbreaking female detective who’s part Phillip Marlowe, part
Nancy Drew, and all snark. With its sharp plot and clever twists, The
Thousand-Dollar Tan Line will keep you guessing until the very last page.
I've bought it. It's on my book shelf. It's at the very top of my 'after I've finished reading things I have to read' list!
