Golden Son — Jeff Erno

At thirty-two, Ari loves his life in small town northern Michigan, running his aquatic pet store, but he's always yearned to visit a coastal state. Inexplicably, he's felt a connection with the ocean his entire life, and when his cousin Todd calls to ask him to be his best man at his California ocean-side wedding, Ari jumps at the chance for a much needed vacation. When he arrives in San Diego, however, he makes some discoveries about himself and finds love in the process. He also finds himself embroiled in a disturbing murder mystery that he ultimately helps to unravel.
