Doc Ford has his share of secrets. One of them has returned having a vengeance . .

While trying to solve among Florida’s most serious mysteries, Doc Ford may be the target of a murder attempt by someone who really wants to make it look like an accident. Or is the target actually his friend Tomlinson? Regardless of the response, the liveaboards and angling guides at Dinkin’s Bay on Sanibel Island are becoming significantly nervous-and wary-after a aircraft crash and additional near-death incidents make it apparent that Ford and Tomlinson are dangerous companions.

What their little family of friends doesn’t know is definitely that their key pasts make it impossible for them to seek help from regulations. There can be an assassin over the loose, which is up to Doc and Tomlinson to find a killer before the grisly job is done.
