A well done thriller featuring James Hall’s character Thorn and his good friend Charlie Sugarman; the action takes place in the Florida Keys. Thorn is a complex character with an uncertain past. He signs on as a fishing guide to a luxury charter houseboat owned by a former friend and lover to take a group of wealthy business people into some unexplored and isolated lakes hidden by mangroves. There are Tarpon, Snook, Alligators and Bull Sharks. He will find himself involved in a personal family matter, corruption and deception
The 84 year old head of a prominent and notorious Florida family that has vast holdings in real estate and mining is found drowned in the river of a mining town. It is murder but the locals are calling the death an accident and are covering up evidence. Adults and children in the town have been suffering and dying from what the locals consider industrial pollution.

The author takes these and other connected events and combines them with wonderful descriptions of the wildlife, the rivers and the Everglades in Southern Florida into a first class mystery. Some very interesting characters and he keeps you guessing as to who the really bad guy is. Read this in one sitting.
