Edgar Allan “Poe” Rutherford has the luxury of picking and choosing the cases that spark his curiosity. So when his love-struck mother-in-law demands he trail her latest squeeze, he thinks he's wasting his time. Until a mysterious woman from the boyfriend's past falls off his balcony to her death.
As he digs deeper, he discovers a chain of underground connections starting with a rising tide of corruption in Miami and washing up on Maui's white sandy beaches. But Poe's solved enough cases to know dodgy dealings don't necessarily make the man a murderer…
With the body count climbing, can Poe protect his mother-in-law and solve the case or will a killer destroy a chance at a happy ending?
