Mystery Amateur Sleuth
Frank Cole is residing temporarily in a rickety cottage in Exile, Florida. His company has gone bankrupt, and the judge has ruled without precedent that any money Frank earns before the claims are settled will be treated as part of the bankruptcy. Franks lawyer cautions him to earn as little as possible until then, so Frank gets a job as an insurance companys lowly fact-checker. The challenges of the job escalate abruptly, however, when he is called to investigate the hit-and-run death of a young man. Franks natural curiosity leads him to look more carefully into the accident than is expected of him. When he becomes convinced that the accident not only was murder, but that the victim was mistaken for the actual target, whom he somewhat resembles, Frank has opened the gate to a quagmire of dirty dealings in Exiles major money-making industry. Hes duty bound to prove the corruption, if he can manage to stay alive.
