Lake Wales, Central Florida. Ten years ago, a political fundraiser
became a bloodbath when a hooded assassin carried out a savage public
execution. Three men were massacred, casting a dark shadow over the
Sunshine State. A decade on, history is threatening to repeat
itself. The widow of one victim, herself now running for Governor, has
received an anonymous threat - a newspaper clipping from that fateful
day, along with the chilling words 'I'm back.' Florida detective
Cab Bolton agrees to investigate the threat against this candidate,
Diane Fairmont: an attractive politician who has a complicated history
with Cab's mother, Hollywood actress Tarla Bolton - and with Cab
himself. But by doing so, Cab is entering dangerous waters.
Fairmont's political party is itself swamped in secrecy - a fact that,
unknown to Cab, has led one of its junior staff to start asking very
sensitive questions about the death of a party employee. Both
Cab and this young researcher, Peach Piper, are digging up the kind of
dirt that ten years can't wash away. And as the powerful crosswinds of
state politics swirl around Cab and Peach, and the threat of a tropical
storm hangs over Florida, this whirlwind of pressure and chaos will
ultimately unearth a poisonous conspiracy, and reawaken a killer who has
lain dormant for a decade. Views: 42
