What was the nude, recently slain body of Kaithlin Jordan doing spoiling the pristine turquoise waters of Miami Beach - especially when the dead socialite's convicted killer husband is sitting on Death Row for having murdered her...ten years ago! Reporter Britt Montero lives for this kind of story. But she may die for this one as well. Because each question raises many others - and every hard-won answer reveals secret passions and explosive truths that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks.

Edna Buchanan is an American journalist and writer best known for her crime mystery novels and short stories. She won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for general news reporting for”her versatile and consistently excellent police beat reporting.” Her books reflect the Miami crime scene to perfection.
“When the body of a beautiful woman is found floating offshore, seaweed in her hair, veteran Miami News police-beat reporter Britt Montero gets the call in an engrossing who-was-it that soon becomes an equally intriguing whodunit. Britt senses a good story in the making, and when the body remains unclaimed and foul play is established, she is sure of it. A fingerprint check identifies the well-cared-for mermaid as Kaithlin Jordan of the prominent department store family. One problem: she's been dead for 10 years, and her husband is scheduled to be executed for her murder.” (2001 Publisher’s Weekly)
Full of twists and turns and relentless, dogged investigative work on the part of reporter Britt Montero, the book is excellent reading.
This series is crime-writing, police procedural, investigative reporting, mystery writing at its very best. **** ( )
