Opis

What is a dead lawyer floating in a condo bog? A really good start for the Ian Decker / Death by Condo mystery series. It is Sunset-Noir at its duskiest, set in the unreal Naples East Bay Shores Village. Prematurely retired lawyer Ian Decker wades into the investigation of Detectives Gabe Hubble and Nicolina Webster of a suspicious death in the murky heart of sub-ritzy Ibis Creek Condominium. JJ Amos was a bull-headed collections lawyer for Ibis Creek. Amos dead in the bog is sad but great news for many an underwater owner. Normally, those happy folks would be called suspects, but Hubble and Webster's initial take is death by slip and sail. The case goes on death-support. Though not a fan of Amos, Decker cannot leave the case alone. Neither can Hubble and it was his call. Webster is the other side of ambivalent about any dead lawyer. Decker volunteers to be Hubble's virtual bloodhound, searching Amos' collection cases for clues that lead them to a face-to-face with an unexpected and dangerous killer.
