You'd think a nuclear power plant was dangerous enough ...That's what special agent Kurt Hunter thought until, while out fishing, he witnesses a murder at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant. After being assigned the case, Kurt is pulled into the convoluted politics of Miami only to find out that the embattled power plant is only a pawn in a more deadly game. Greed and corruption are nothing new to pristine Biscayne Bay. With the plant's miles of cooling canals providing essential habitat for several endangered species, Kurt is thrown into a rift between warring environmentalists and power-hungry corporate executives all trying to advance their own agendas.

Backwater Channel by Steven Becker is a good murder mystery set in Biscayne Bay and the Miami area. The Kurt Hunter series is about a US Park Service special agent who patrols the Biscayne Bay National Park. He seems to keep finding dead bodies that get him in trouble with his boss.
This time while on his own and looking for fishing spots for bonefish, he comes across a dead body just outside the cooling water channels used for a local power plant. He calls in the Miami police regarding the dead body. To his bosses disappointment, Kurt gets assigned to handle the investigation. The investigation leads off into competing environmental groups protesting the power plant. One group wants it shut down over the pollution and warm water discharges to the bay or installing cooling towers. Another group is fighting to keep the warm water discharges that have allowed American Crocodiles to thrive in the cooling ponds and canals.
I will stop with the story line at this point so I don't spoil it for you. I found this to be a good murder mystery with several characters that are interesting. It is also a quick read that is good for vacation reading. (
