After being away from his home in the Florida Keys for nine months, Jesse McDermitt has returned to find his tiny island compound just north of Big Pine Key in disarray.
Being away for so long has taken its toll. With only a part-time caretaker visiting once a week, some of the systems that made life easier on the island for Jesse and Savannah needed attention and the caretaker was nowhere to be found.
When things are finally back in order, Jesse receives a cryptic phone call from an associate in Key West, a yacht broker, asking him to come down and have a look at something.
What Dean Murphy uncovered was just the tip of the iceberg and when Jesse and his cohorts become involved, it will take every bit of his accumulated experience, cunning, and warrior attitude to restore order to the rest of the Florida Keys.
