When Army Special Agent John Puller finds his aunt dead in Florida, he
suspects it's no accident . . . and as local police dismiss the case,
the cracks begin to show in a picture-perfect town.
Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran,
Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest
crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case--but this time, the
crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida.
A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the
wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches.
The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic
accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's
father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not
all it seems to be.
What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no
accident...and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may
hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths
to make sure the truth is never revealed.
