It’s evident from their first meeting that Doug and Jill Fletcher’s investigative assistance was not requested and isn’t appreciated. The Everglades National Park Superintendent is quite happy to leave the apparent alligator attack as just that, an unfortunate but natural part of life in the Everglades. The Fletchers point out the inconsistencies in the alligator attack theory: no one has reported the woman missing, her car wasn’t left in the visitor center parking lot, and her body was found without keys, cell phone, or identification.

Thrust into the unfamiliar South Beach culture, the Fletchers work with a reluctant park service associate and the Miami/Dade forensics team to identify the victim. Once identified, they unravel a complicated attempt at misdirection to track down her killer.

“The Doug Fletcher series follow a National Park Service law enforcement investigator across the western US. Great background on very unusual murder cases that will keep the reader spellbound.”

“These characters are like family. We enjoy reading about Doug and Jill's relationship as it deepens and grows. We read the Doug Fletcher books out loud to each other, and we both enjoy the story lines, character development, plot twists, and humor. It's fun to hear descriptions of the national parks and learn about them.”
