Orient

If you can't afford the Hamptons then Orient, a historic town on the North Fork of Long Island, may be just the place for you. It's quaint, seaside-adjacent, and a short drive to the city. But the influx of artists and Manhattan transplants has resulted in a culture clash with the longtime residents that just may have led to murder. Paul Benchley, a New York architect and longtime resident, rescued young Mills Chevern from a life on the streets and employed him to declutter his parents' old home. Gossip abounds about Mills, and when a local handyman and a beloved local activist are found dead, followed by a tragic case of arson, Mills is the immediate suspect. With the help of Paul's neighbor Beth, Mills sets out to solve the crimes and clear his name. But sleuthing in a small, close-knit community isn't so easy. People are tight-lipped and justifiably scared with a murderer in their midst. They fear drops in property values as much as the threat to their own lives. Suddenly, a deadly encounter rocks the town and gives Mills and Beth much to confront.
