Alexandra Barnaby got the brains in her family. The little gray cells certainly bypassed Barneys younger brother, Wild Bill. Hes a pretty good boat captain but hes taken on a new job with his eyes conveniently closed. Before long, Bill goes missing, so Barney is dispatched to Florida with the bugs and the heat and the bad-hair-day humidity. Barneys thinking things cant get too much worse as she makes the rounds of South Beach, unemployed and sunburned, following her brothers trail of broken-hearted bimbos.

Too bad for Barney--shes wrong about the getting worse part. Enter Sam Hooker. Somebodys stolen his boat and the trail leads to--you guessed it--Wild Bill. Since Will Bill is missing, Hooker decides to follow Barney and see if she can lead him to his boat.

Dogs and cats never die in the world of Evanovich, and bad guys are almost always brought to justice. Sam Hooker and Alexandra Barnaby, in their quest to reclaim whats theirs, blast through Florida from Daytona straight on to Key West, exposing a plot to grab Cuban land and to lay waste the people involved. Cussing and tasteless sexual inneuendo included.
