Summary: Greed and ghosts in steamy Florida
Review: Following the murder of their old friend Lou Hernando, husand-and-wife team Mike McCleary and Quin St. James are caught up in the steamy entanglements of old families and new development on tropical Tango Key, a tiny island off Key West.

Hernando's last months had been obsessed by the ghost of a freed slave woman - the mistress of a pirate and island benefactor - who seems to be seraching for something.

Hernando's death, however, seems straightforward - he was stabbed by a troubled boy who is now missing. But Quin and Mike are dissatisfied with this easy solution and bothered by inexplicable evidence of haunting. They begin delving into Hernando's bail bond business, the debts he'd amassed and the eager interest in his land exhibitted by the island's most prominent developer and its most prominent ecologist.

Few are what they seem in this complex tangle of greed, supernatural phenomenon, adultery and loose-cannon sociopaths. The bang-up ending gives even MacGregor's previous fans more than they bargained for.
