Publisher's Synopsis
Edgar Award Finalist, Best Paperback Original, 2005-A Dan Shaw Thriller
Dan Shaw, night school law student, ex-Army cop, and part-time investigator for hotshot attorney Thomas Petrie, has 57 hours to find a man who may already be dead. Peter Falconer is one of the golden boys of Bell Harbor, Florida-or he soon will be after inheriting the family fortune. But what seems to be yet another typical case of murder for profit and passion is about to take a sudden U-turn. For Shaw is about to uncover a brand of thrill killing whose sheer evil he can't begin to fathom. And Shaw had better get to the bottom-and fast-or the hunt taking him from the Keys to the Caribbean and into the eye of a tropical storm will cost him his life.
