Ocean Mist, Delaware belongs to Private Eye Jimmy Grits, and the likes of Skee-Ball Granny, The Mime, and Elbow Patches can’t take it from him– or, can they?  Jimmy and Ocean Mist’s tinker descend into a criminal underworld beyond the reach of the police, the F.B.I., and even the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  The unlikely pair risk everything they hold dear to keep sun-seeking tourists and innocent residents safe, but will they realize before the town is lost something sinister, calculating, and patient has been playing a long game?  Like Jimmy’s mother always told him, “Once you butter your grits, it’s time for breakfast.”
