In this latest adventure Will and Betsy Black, those crime-solving financial whizzes, find themselves curious when Geoffrey Oliver Watson III is found dead on his boat near Key West. Then a 50-foot go-fast cigarette boat nearly rams a Coast Guard cutter, raising more questions. The answer is drug smuggling. Can the husband-and-wife sleuths thwart the local drug lords?

Will and Betsy Black are a married couple somewhat reminiscent of Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man series or Jonathan and Jennifer Hart of Hart To Hart. In this second book in the adventure series, they take on a Ponzi scheme built around the Club Tropic resorts. Being financial experts, the couple suspects something amiss in the Florida Keys venture. Despite growing danger, they take a calculated risk in exposing this clever fraud. "Will and Betsy seem real enough to be living next door. I enjoy following them on their crime-solving adventures," says Rosemary Mason, One Two Three For ME!

In this first Will and Betsy Black adventure, the intrepid couple face Hurricane Clarisse ... and in the aftermath discover the body of one of Will's colleagues. While the police chalk it up as a storm-related casualty, Will and Betsy aren't convinced. As fellow Floridians struggle with the natural disaster -- surviving without electricity, taking cold showers, eating canned food and sipping warm drinks -- the Blacks launch their own investigation with the help of their friends. Quickly, evidence of a homicide begins to mount and the number of suspects starts to multiply.
