Doug and Jill Fletcher’s Florida Gulf Coast vacation is interrupted when they’re dispatched to investigate the disappearance of a survey team in Big Cypress National Preserve. The suspect list grows with each interview, bringing into question the motives of apparently peaceful oil drilling protestors and a surveyor’s ex-husband. Fletchers find the local residents unhappy with the government, law enforcement, or anything threatening their generations-old habits and traditions.
After days of hitting dead ends at every turn, Doug decides to take a step back. A conversation with a local resident makes them reconsider a motive they’d previously discounted. Ignoring a “No Trespassing” sign, the Fletchers pull into a rural driveway and find themselves staring into a shotgun muzzle.

-Dean has hit another home run! My husband and I thoroughly enjoy reading about Doug and Jill's adventures together. We appreciate their relationship is loving, with a sense of humor. The setting was especially fun as we live in the area and have canoed on the St Croix River. Interesting plots, witty dialogue, and humorous encounters keep you wanting more. We're definitely looking forward to their next adventure in this series... -Sue C.
