Matt Royal has faced danger before, but never like this.
Jock Algren, a government operative, arrives in Longboat Key broken by a failed mission. As his friends Matt and detective J.D. Duncan try to pull him from despair, three menacing forces converge: a vengeful jihadist, a cold case suspect, and the “meanest man” Matt has ever encountered.
Bodies start piling up, and Jock’s deadly past returns to haunt him. With danger closing in from all sides, the stakes couldn’t be higher—if they don’t act fast, more innocent lives will be lost.
As chaos erupts in Key West, Matt must figure out how these threats are connected. But can they stop the violence before it’s too late?
