Shift whistles at the soap factory and the shipyard, along with the changing tides, mark the rhythms of life in the beach town. This is a world of fast food, double dates, and Saturday morning haircuts at the barber shop-a world as seemingly uncomplicated as a summer night's ride on a carousel. A lonely girl from away seeks connection with high school classmates who give no notice; a harried salesman confronts his deepest fear; a middle-aged woman reckons with unfulfilled dreams; and a man returns for a class reunion and finds himself face to face with something beyond his imagining. In Beach Town, David Daniel recreates the seaside town of North Weybridge, recalling in stories poignant and sometimes mysterious, the loves and losses, the magic and hard realities of clam diggers, sailors, barmaids and disillusioned lovers, characters revealed in moments of crisis or enlightenment.

Set against the backdrop of the late 1960s and early 1970s, the narrative follows David Daniel, who believes he has uncovered the identity of the infamous Zodiac killer after decoding a series of ciphers that had stumped authorities for decades.

His findings challenge the long-held beliefs about the ciphers and promise to bring closure to a chilling chapter in criminal history.
