Can a South Florida Private investigator, an opioid user himself, bring down a drug-trafficking ring? After a career in law enforcement, Jason Tanner retires to South Florida after losing his wife to cancer. He moves aboard his new yacht and plans to conduct private investigations to keep active. A missing person case lands at his steps that will take him to Miami Beach amongst the surfers and discover a drug manufacturing ring covering the state with opioids. The leader is an old nemesis from his FBI days and he intends to catch him, once and for all. The Florida Keys harbors a gang of traffickers involved in the manufacturing of Fentanyl, a deadly drug. Even a rogue detective tries to interfere in the investigation. Tanner is the target of a few goons who will try to eliminate him wherever he travels to.
What could have been an enjoyable book was made cumbersome and unenjoyable. Truly, I didn't like the main character at all! He was a former Marine, police officer, fbi agent but came across as a bumbling idiot. The use of words completely irrelevant or incorrect, sentence structure was baffling, conversations stilted and awkward made the book difficult to read. A few points I wondered if the book was translated from another language. Who uses the word hum instead of hmmm? ConneXion instead of connection. Asiatic, which is derogatory instead of Asian. Author was condescending to both Asians and italians. the book could have been 50 pages shorter without all the superfluous wording. Do not recommend unless you have insomnia. Will not be reading any more from this author
