Center Ice. The star's place. Only it wasn't a skating star Berrien found early one morning at N'ice Skates Ice Arena. A stranger was curled up in that coveted spot, not moving, dead. Neither Berrien nor Etienne, the live-in arena manager, had the faintest idea of the man's identity.

As the police began their grisly investigation more troubles surfaced when it became obvious that one of the arena’s champions was missing. She was reported kidnapped, adding FBI agents to the Law Enforcement mix. A decidedly upset coach from the Midwest arrived in the California’s town to take back "his" pair team — one of whom is the missing girl.

Parents, skaters and coaches are all in an uproar, lessons cancelled, rehearsals for the up-coming show running overtime — in short, confusion reigned. First local, then national media frenzy carried the unfolding drama to the nation.

The ending is truly a "Grand Finale.".

For over 125 years, Berrien County has beckoned visitors with its magnificent beaches, attractions, and events. During the early 20th century, some visitors to southwestern Michigan were upper-class industrialists, while others were working-class families belonging to close-knit ethnic communities. As the area developed into a resort haven, elaborate mansions shared the beach with the cottages of Irish, Czech, Swedish, Jewish, Greek, Lithuanian, Polish, Italian, and African-American communities. This book chronicles the early history of Berrien County’s resort culture—from the twinkling amusement parks of Silver Beach and the House of David and the marathon dances at

Shadowland Pavilion to the mineral baths at the Whitcomb Hotel and the fruit orchards found throughout the “Heart of the Fruit Belt.” .
