The quiet and solitude found in the back country and wetlands of south Florida has been shattered. Someone is using explosives to fish the ecologically fragile patch reefs in the shallow waters of Florida Bay, north of the Keys. Retired Marine Jesse McDermitt doesn’t like explosions in his backyard.
Knowing his penchant for inserting himself in matters best left to the authorities, his friends … his friends withhold information from him about the destruction to the delicate, living corals. Jesse doesn’t much like this, either.
He discovers that a vicious Miami street gang is involved when he and his daughter witness a gruesome double murder on remote Cape Sable. Ignoring his friends advice, he digs for the truth. Why does a gang that deals strictly in lead, kilos, and large bricks of cash want to steal cheap boats in the Keys, just to poach a few bucks worth of gamefish?
What Jesse uncovers is far more sinister than he bargained for. A twisted psychopath is in control of the gang and trying to lure him out in the open. Jesse’s instinct and training compel him to attack, but conflicts with his newfound parental need to protect. Jesse and the ones he cares for most are caught in the cross-hairs.
It’s just another day in paradise in this sixth installment of the Jesse McDermitt series.

Excellent book twists and turns loved reading it and the loved characters
Wayne Stinnett makes me want to move to the Florida Keys and never leave
I never pass up a Jesse McDermitt adventure. As familiar as the characters are there is always someone new. New imaginative adventures are believable & as full of as much witty banter as peril.
Another great book in this series
I enjoy this series and this one has a good twist.
It’s Wayne Stinnett what else can you say
A very enjoyable read. Took me back to my days living in the Keys
This series has been good and watching the character base grow has been fun.
Like the characters. Have read 3 in this series.
I pretty much recommend anything by Wayne Stinnett. Have read everything out there I can find by him and feel like I know Jesse, Chyrel, Jimmy, Rusty etc like family .. Have spent a fair amount of time in the areas he writes about (long ago) so brings back memories and is well identified. Highly recommended
Love these Jesse stories!
Another good action packed thriller from Mr. Stinnent. Jess is the victim and hero in this adventure
It made me want to move to the Florida keys and fish for dinner every day!
A good book, reasonable action, well developed characters good plot, I liked it.
A lot like the others, a page turner, action, fairly well developed characters. Plot is a stretch, but suspend your disbelief a bit and enjoy the ride.
Love all Stinnett’s books, wish he could write them faster, I devour them so fast. So realistic about Florida flora and fauna, human and otherwise.
Great seting, really enjoyed the read
Fast paced, unpredictable and it kept me hooked! I’ve read the whole series because they are so good! I highly recommend this series, they are well written and entertaining! Great reads!!!
Candy. Pretty good candy.
