Shades — Nathan Birr

The Grandeur Hotel & Resort offers first-class accommodations and amenities that make it one of South Florida's hottest vacation destinations. Its exclusivity, isolation, and location in 1980s Miami-and the resort's shady history-also make it a hotbed of international espionage and clandestine criminal activities. Good thing the hotel detective is cool as the ocean breeze. Identifiable as much by his designer sunglasses and fashionable duds as his keen observations and insights, Shades keeps an eye on the resort's patrons-and not just the cute ones-while trying to stay off the radar of his boss and enjoy the perks of working and living in paradise. Thieves, ex-mobsters, and spies complicate his weekend, but perhaps none as much as the beautiful guest who may or may not be involved with them all. Shades will need all his wits and charm to sort out the mysteries and maintain peace at The Grandeur. And then there's the matter of his other job, the real reason he was hired in the first place . . .
