Norton & Co Inc., 1989 No Flaws or Blemishes but minor age spots on text-block; Still Gift Quality, First Edition; First Printing; Full Number Line. Unopened, Unread Near Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. Near Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. Fast, cinematic scene-shifting, garish gallows humor and James Hall nails the Florida Keys.Fisherman Thorn, first seen in the well-received Under Cover of Daylight , is getting his life together slowly, rebuilding his house in the Florida Keys and supporting himself by making fishing lures. When his boyhood friend, ex-FBI agent Gaeton Richards, disappears, his sister Darcy enlists Thorn in a campaign to nail Gaeton's boss, Benny Cousins, the not-quite-respectable head of a multinational rent-a-cop business who is determined to become a force in local "conch" affairs. But little is what it seems: Thorn and Darcy find themselves up against not only Benny but also violent, Florida cracker Ozzie, who lusts for Darcy and works for Papa John, local "character" and scam-master--and Benny's nasty racket may be protected by the Feds.
