Max is back, trawling the trailer parks and waterways of south Florida, where amid the gorgeous beaches and abundant foliage there lies a stunning range of brutality. After Max is hired to investigate a conspiracy involving fake claims to Medicare, he quickly realizes the scheme is much more dangerous than anyone assumed. And when the Brown Man, a former drug kingpin who once helped Max nab a serial killer, reappears in a slick new guise, Max must reclaim his street instincts to protect not just the citizens of south Florida, but also his girlfriend, Detective Sherry Richards — the one person he can’t afford to lose.

" King has another winner in his Max Freeman series. The mystery is good, but where King really shines is his character development and his wonderful way of making south Florida come alive. "
— Maryellen, 4/19/2013" Not as good as previous books in this series. The story was a bit contrived and the way the two plots came together was far too coincidental for me. Early books in this series were standout mysteries, but the last couple haven't been as strong. "
