Peter Black is on the mend. A reluctant witness in a trial scheduled in Massachusetts has been arrested in Mort Meyers, FL. With Patel back at work, a nice easy trip to the beach sounds like just what the doctor ordered. What could possibly go wrong?
The heat and sunshine of Fort Myers are not the only differences from Massachusetts that Pete encounters. The laws are different and the humid air is not the only thing making him sweat. Here he has no friends in the police. To them he is just another meddlesome wannabe cop, no better than the guy he was trying to find. When tempers flare in the courtroom, the police arrest everyone involved, including a certain Private Investigator named Peter Black.
