Publisher Description
When Mike McCleary is shot one morning while jogging, Quin's investigation into the shooting thrusts her into the upper echelons of Palm Beach society. She encounters a Chilean fisherman, Alejandro Domingo, whose healing abilities have attracted numerous wealthy clients in Palm Beach, including the wife of a man running for the U.S. Senate. Videos, photos, and printed material all lead to the haunted Chilean, whose sister and daughter have disappeared en route to South America. Quin's investigation, with the help of fellow operative John Tark, himself a man with a dark past in South America, leads to the place where Alejandro plies his powers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Last seen in Storm Surge, South Florida's husband-and-wife PI team, Quin St. James and Mike McCleary, are caught in another deadly vortex of murder, politics, lust and telepathy in this elaborate adventure. While helping the police investigate the murder of a Miami socialite who was married to a popular Chilean faith healer, Mike is critically wounded. Taking up the case while he's in intensive care, Quin calls on old friends for help. One is John Tark, a fellow PI whose desire for Quin complicates their relationship; another is Rita Vail, a judge and confidante of Florida's incumbent woman senator whose seat is being challenged by a wealthy conservative businessman from another old Miami family. Mike, suffering from expressive aphasia, can't tell Quin what he learned about the dead woman, her connection to the senate hopeful and a well-funded research facility probing the powers of psychics and healers. More murders connect the PIs with devious pols and a psychotic. Lots of action, some of it over-arranged, and a diverse cast of three-dimensional characters mark Quin and Mike's latest appearance.
