Mystery
Dexter Vega could use some help from John D. MacDonald’s
Travis McGee in this Coastal Florida mystery. Vega is
scraping together pennies to buy his next beer when a
wealthy real estate investor asks him to look into the
drowning death of his son—in four feet of water off Siesta
Key. Thrown into a contrasting world of beach bums and real
estate moguls, Vega soon discovers that someone wants to
stifle his investigation at all cost—including his life. For fans of John D. MacDonald and his coastal Florida
mysteries, The Last Breath by Danny Lopez will
rekindle the flame. Unemployed newspaper reporter Dexter Vega is hired to
investigate the drowning of Liam Fleming, the son of a
wealthy real estate investor in Siesta Key. Vega’s search for clues takes him from one end of this
picturesque barrier island off the coast of Sarasota to the
other. But nothing adds up. Liam was young, an experienced
swimmer, apparently healthy—and drowned in four feet of
water. And why was Liam living in a beach shack? Why was he
buying properties and not selling them? The police are getting nowhere as they identify every beach
bum on Siesta Key as a suspect. But Vega narrows his
investigation to two—one who disappears, and the other he’s
falling in love with. Beach bums and hippies go missing,
while greed, beachfront property, and drugs swirl in vicious
loops—and when they converge, Vega puts his life on the line
to find the truth.
