By calling in favors from a crew of Key West characters, stepping aside of law enforcement, and traveling to New Orleans in an attempt to help his friend, Rutledge will fall deep into a mysterious range war, a fight for the profits from a twenty year old smuggling deal.Ī pleasant Key West Sunday in January turns into a tropical nightmare. An overnight fire and a drive by shooting the next morning amplify the strangeness and danger. A high noon murder in the tourist district, the ransacked apartment of a local bartender, and the chance encounter of Abby Womack, Cahill’s ex mistress, combine to convince Alex that Zach Cahill’s disappearance may be linked to all of these events. When Alex arrives at the bar, eight minutes later, Cahill is gone. Zack demands that Rutledge join him for a celebratory beer. His old navy buddy, Zack Cahill, now a successful Chicago banker, is in town and, at 8:00 a.m., drunk in Sloppy Joe’s. Late August, the off season, the dog days. ![]() Alex Rutledge, freelance and part time Key West crime scene photographer, awakes to his first day off in months. ![]()
