Michael Dalton Mysteries #4
Dead Man's Code
A five a.m. gunshot brings Sheriff’s Detective Michael Dalton to a mobile home in the Lower Keys. A dead man has a bullet hole in his head, a 9mm pistol clenched in his fingers, and an empty rum bottle by his chair. It looks like suicide, a desperate man at the end of his rope, but the ME, the CSIs, and Dalton, are on the fence.
Dalton and his partner Crook catch another case, a homicide committed during a liquor store robbery the night before the mobile home death. The robber wore a ski mask and gloves, and the security videos are no help.
As the liquor store investigation grinds to a halt, the mobile home death is deemed a homicide. Then surprise evidence surfaces, turning both cases upside down. The new information leads Dalton to Miami, where high-level corruption protects a killer. He soon learns that its tentacles extend all the way back to Key West.
