"Ein eisiger Wind peitscht die dicken Regentropfen über die verlassenen Strassen. Die Strasse glänzt feucht und glatt. Das Licht der Laternen spiegelt sich auf dem nassen Asphalt. Nacht und Regen machen die Sicht fast unmöglich. Nervös umklammert Ruth das Lenkrad und starrt angespannt auf die Fahrbahnmarkierung. Auf einmal bemerkt sie zwei gleißend helle Scheinwerfer im Rückspiegel. Der Wagen hinter ihr beschleunigt und fährt immer dichter auf. Sie muss schneller fahren, den Verfolger abschütteln. Auf einmal setzt der Wagen zu einem Überholmanöver an. Ruth schaut entsetzt in den Rückspiegel. Wer hat es nur auf sie abgesehen? Martin hat einen teuflischen Plan ausgeheckt. Er will seine Frau umbringen, um an das Geld aus der Lebensversicherung zu kommen. Er hat nur eines nicht bedacht: Eine Million Euro sind auch für Ruth ein triftiger Grund, ein Mordkomplott anzuzetteln und er soll das Opfer sein. Wessen Plan gelingt zuerst? Ein mörderischer Wettlauf mit der Zeit beginnt…"

"With a steamy Southern plot and a sassy new heroine, this Edgar Award winning novel debuts an exceptional new series. Attorney Deborah Knott is North Carolina's answer to V.I. Warshawski, a legal sleuth with a knack for sniffing out the most baffling crimes. Deborah has just done the unthinkable-entered the heated race for judge of old-boy-ruled Colleton County. The only female candidate, she's busy reeling in voters and giving campaign speeches. There couldn't be a worse time for Gayle Whitehead to beg Deborah to investigate the 18-year-old, unsolved murder of Gayle's mother, Janie. Gayle wants the busy attorney to poke around for any new clues the police may have missed all these years. Unlikely, thinks Deborah; until she discovers that not all the details of Janie's case made it out of confidential police files.

"Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Hiaasen's best-selling novels are funny and sardonic. Hilarious postcards of south Florida, they also decry the lurid commercialism that is draining and paving the tropical landscape. Tourist season is swinging into high gear in Miami.

Armed with bombs, weed, and jumbled credos, they move toward their grand target, the Orange Bowl Parade, with plans to bring Miami and its tourist trade to a halt.
