A story of intrigue follows as three more bodies are found, and three of the friends go missing. Conservation Officer Kip Greene, his girlfriend, Suzy, and their friend Teqe find themselves entrenched in a mystery that involves a series of shady criminals, including a Mexican drug cartel.

This is the first novel of a planned trilogy. Kwiecinski does a fantastic job describing the Keys.

These descriptive sections render the setting an important aspect of the story. The author is not only good at telling an interesting and complex story but also has a knack for description that gives readers a feel for what life is like in the region. Lovers of history will enjoy the novel's informative sections, and those who enjoy thrillers will love this engaging storyline and find themselves eagerly awaiting the next installment.
