Synopsis

Alex is back... He did not want to be. A long-awaited vacation in Grand Cayman ends too soon for Rutledge and Detective Beth Watkins when Beth learns that someone has killed her houseguest, Elaine Ogilvy. Alex and Beth return quickly to Key West and, from the moment of their arrival, events suggest they might be in danger as well. A photographer who prefers ad agency and magazine jobs, Alex has no training in police work. Still, he often gets drawn into Florida Keys investigations. Monroe County Sheriff, Fred (Chicken Neck) Liska, trusts Alex (usually), and The Aristocrats (off-kilter private eyes Dubbie Tanner and Wiley Fecko) provide off-the-books surveillance, background checks and info gathering. Everyone knows that success is not guaranteed. The father of the victim, Parke Ogilvy, whom Watkins knew long ago, comes to the island and offers the names of the ex-lovers of his daughter, one of whom could be in the Florida Keys. DNA crime evidence, a second murder, threats against friends and, for Alex, a solid link to events in his past boost the peril. Even with law enforcement at full force, Rutledge senses that only his actions will lead to a crime solution.
