Details on how to win a copy of this book at the end of the review and links to purchase it.

Meet Beth Bowman! She is a Private Investigator in Coral Springs, Florida. She has an interesting array of friends and contacts, including the local police chief and the homeless community. When a homeless man is discovered beaten to death behind a park bench, Police Chief Elston calls in Beth to tell that he would like her and her homeless friends to stay out of the investigation for their own safety. A note left with the body says, "One step in the purification of our country. When we finish, we'll walk free without the garbage of society cluttering our paths." The chief believes that a radical group named FITE, Friends Intent on The Environment, could be responsible.

This is a wonderful fast moving book. The writing is concise and sharp. The characters come to life with every spoken word. The Florida setting is well drawn and the homeless community and their background is well portrayed. The author has done an outstanding job in drawing us into a complex and intricately plotted murder mystery. His portrayal of the homeless and their situations is well done. This is the fourth book in this series, and I have read two of the three others. I feel that any mystery reader will really enjoy this riveting story of power mad people and causes.
