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.

Couldn’t put the book down !!
Thank you
Always enjoy reading Wayne Stinet hod stories keep me entertained and are always a page turner!
I liked this series so much I bought several for my mother-in-law’s Christmas gift. She liked them so much she bought the rest of the series and shared them with me.
Another great read from the master of the Fla Keys realism. This time Jessie is put to the ultimate test defending his home and protecting his family from very nasty people. The whole series never disappoints.
Great story
Loved it!
It just was too all over & then over.
Not bad for the genre. Much better than earlier books.
Interesting reading about the locations in the Florida Keys.
This story in his “Fallen” series was easy to read, but the plot sort of wandered around. This one was not as well put together as the others in this series.
This entire series makes for fun reading, and they remind me a lot of the Travis McGee series by John D. Macdonald.
One of my fav autthors
Love all of Stinnett’s work so far!
Loved it, I live in Florida, so reading the book described a lot of Florida that I find exciting and it was very well written
A favorite series that keeps me turning the pages.
A GOOD READ, AS ARE ALL OF HIS EFFORTS SO FAR!
