Description
A few days before Thanksgiving, Sailor Cassidy is running an amateur stakeout she has no business conducting. She’s nursing a bad breakup, following a plan that’s half-baked in more ways than one, and reckless enough not to care. What could go wrong?
Across town, Officer Tuscaloosa “Tusk” Knight is working an off-the-books job for his captain, tailing a drifter who, it turns out, once sat two rows over from him in high school English. It’s not exactly the glamorous step toward promotion he pictured, but it beats paperwork.
When Sailor’s disaster and Tusk’s assignment collide, the two stumble into a life-or-death mess involving kidnapping, half-wit criminals, and a tangle of small-town secrets longer than the Carolina coast. With the clock ticking, Sailor and Tusk are left trying to separate the truth from the lies, and the lies from the truly stupid decisions.

Advance Praise
"I've been waiting a long time for someone to explore the enigma that is Myrtle Beach. Kennedy has answered my prayers at last." —Brandon T. Snider, best-selling author of The Dark Knight Manual and writer/actor (Inside Amy Schumer, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Chappelle's Show)
“I’ve been recognized as an actor, director, and producer, but the first thing I identify as in my mind is a late-’90s Myrtle Beach bartender. I swear I’ve poured drinks for every character in Dirty Myrtle. Kennedy Weible nails the peculiar, hilarious chaos of that world in a way I could never describe to people. It’s a thrill ride full of wild, idiotic characters who stumble, trip, and accidentally crash their way toward redemption. That’s exactly how I remember the underbelly of the Grand Strand.” —Kevin Kane, actor, director & producer (Life & Beth, Law and Order: SVU, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman)
