Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The only trace of the first victim was his Shriner's fez washed up on the Miami beach. The second victim, the head of the city's chamber of commerce, was found dead with a toy rubber alligator lodged in his throat. And that was just the beginning...<P>Now Brian Keyes, reporter turned private eye, must move from muckraking to rooting out murder...in a caper that will mix football players, politicians, and police with a group of fanatics and a very hungry crocodile.

Review:
