Joe DeMarco likes to call himself a troubleshooter. It sounds better than βbagmanβ or βfixer.β With more than a decade of troubleshooting under his belt on behalf of John Mahoney, the Speaker of the House, DeMarco has seen his fair share of dangerous situations.
When Andie Moore, a 23-year-old working in the DOJβs Inspector Generalβs Office, is murdered in cold blood in Floridaβs Everglades, it falls on DeMarco to get to the bottom of things. Paired with Emma, an enigmatic, retired ex-spy with seemingly endless connections in the military and intelligence communities, they venture south to the scene of Andieβs murder: Alligator Alley.
DeMarco and Emma waste no time in identifying a two suspectsβa pair of crooked, near-retirement FBI agents named McIntyre and McGruder. But as they keep digging, it becomes clear that these FBI agents werenβt acting alone, and that this goes much deeper than just the murder of an innocent 23-year old woman.
