Judson's Island is a tourism planning textbook written in the form of an exciting who-dunit.
 Set in fictional Oldtown, Maine, it is the story of a young community planner named Judson Bailey, who was imprisoned for murdering the local patriarch, Leland Jones V. The book traces the evolution of tourism development on a hypothetical New England island. As the story unfolds, students, practitioners or mystery buffs will find themselves immersed in a case study which reviewers have described as "innovative, comprehensive, and fun"..."like a mental vacation on the Maine coast" ... "a terrific supplement to traditional (college/university) planning textbooks."
