When Private Investigator Alan Garrett accepts a case from a former military boss to find a wayward son , he assigns the task to his female rookie recruit, Fox. She flies from LAX to Dulles International to pursue the lad. Picks up his trail in North Carolina and announces to her boss, "He's heading south, Gumshoe." Days later she calls, "I found him. We're in Key West, Florida. He's with some unsavory-looking characters. Give me an hour, then call me, Bossman. We'll figure our next move." He calls and calls and calls . . . then he boards a flight to Key West . . . and the adventure begins. In so doing, the fair community of Key West is almost torn apart by an egregious string of events. so unsettling Garrett, himself, gets booted out of town by the police chief. The FBI, along with the media make the 113 mile trek on the Overseas Highway to this "end of the road" quiet village. They try to take over the investigation and put Key West in the headlines and "above the fold" on U.S. papers . Not the typical "binoculars and camera to discover a cheating husband" story. A page turner, filled with murder, intrigue, action and humor.
