Fresh new author Lee Stone serves up a provocative entrée with a generous side of humor in the inaugural book of the Slacker Mills Mystery Series. The vagabond fisherman extraordinaire believes he found the perfect life in Key West. With his mounted trophies covering the walls of the famous Rusty Hook tavern, he's acclaimed as Florida's top angler. Because Friday nights are celebrated with a complimentary banquet of his catch, he's respected as a benevolent hero. And through the rum-clouded eyes of vacationing ladies, he enjoys billing as "The Catch of the Night."

When the fisherman's friend and benefactor, Jerry Porter, is the victim of a violent death, Slacker's fantasy world collapses quickly and the peaceful community is rocked by shocking revelations. The murder investigation turns up information that damages families, fractures friendships, and leads to unwelcome national publicity for a town that relies on tourism to fuel the economy.
