Slate and Dash Go South is a 64,000-word Young Adult Mystery set in Palm Beach, Florida.

SLATE, an American-born teen whose Russian rock-star parents have a crazed fan, seeks safe-house refuge with his bodyguard and his best friend DASH's dysfunctional American rock-star family in picture-perfect Palm Beach, Florida.

Slate and Dash soon learn that paradise isn't perfect when they suspect a neighbor of art fraud and their sleuthing leads to threats.

Paradise soon hits them with more challenges-a charity gala that turns deadly and has personal repercussions, a family drama that threatens to break Dash, and an impulsive mean girl at their new school. To make matters worse, Slate receives worrisome news about the killer who targeted his family.

Slate and Dash cope with courage, smarts, music, and the help of their band of friends, both new and old.

Slate and Dash Go South is the sequel to the award-winning Slate-A Band of Friends Mystery.
