The perfect, nude corpse of a beautiful woman washes up on a perfect Miami Beach - her body tanned and shapely, her nails elegantly manicured. The problem is the victim, Kaithlin Jordan, was supposedly murdered ten years ago. And her convicted killer - her husband, R.J. Jordan, scion of a wealthy and powerful South Florida family - sits on Death Row, just weeks from his execution. Newspaper reporter Britt Montero recalls the high-profile murder trial that heated up a volatile tropical city like a merciless August sun. Even without a body, the prosecution's case against Jordan seemed airtight and the jury enthusiastically bought into it. Now R.J. is preparing to walk - benefiting from the murderous "largess" of whomever drowned his wife off Miami Beach - and Britt's boundlessly curious nature is energized once more by a slew of questions that suddenly need answers. Did Kaithlin frame her husband for murder - or had she simply efficiently fled an abusive marriage? And why, after successfully reinventing herself, had she returned to South Florida, only to meet a very bad end in deep turquoise water? Impulsive and explosive, with a turbulent love life and a unique, highly charged relationship with this singular metropolis erected between swamp and sea, Britt is only truly happy when she's involved in a juicy death story. And this one has the right smell and feel . . .and threat. Because somewhere in the tangle of an enigmatic beauty's bizarre life and even stranger rebirth - somewhere between the sparkling gold coast glamour and flashing neon sleaze - are secret passions and buried solutions that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks. After all, this is Miami, where anything is possible . . . even dying twice.
As a Pulitzer Prize-winning crime reporter, Edna Buchanan has used her twenty-plus years of experience to bring a dynamic and deadly Miami vividly alive in each of her novels through the fiercely intense eyes of tough newspaperwoman Britt Montero. The author of twelve books, Buchanan has spent time behind bars - with two serial killers. She lives in Miami, Florida.
