<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Why do people close to Roscoe Conklin keep showing up dead--and on the paradise island of Bonaire?</b> <p/> After 25 years on the job, Detective Roscoe Conklin trades his badge for a pair of shorts and sandals and moves to Bonaire, a small island nestled in the southern Caribbean. But the warm water, palm trees, and sunsets are derailed when his long-time police-buddy and friend back home, is murdered. <p/> Conklin dusts off a few markers and calls his old department, trolling for information. It's slow going. No surprise, there. After all, it's an active investigation, and his <i>compadres</i> back home aren't saying a damn thing. <p/> He's 2,000 miles away, living in paradise. Does he really think he can help? They suggest he go to the beach and catch some rays. <p/> For Conklin, it's not that simple. Outside looking in? Not him. Never has been. Never will be. <p/> When a suspicious mishap lands his significant other, Arabella, in the hospital, the island police conduct, at best, a sluggish investigation, stonewalling progress. Conklin questions the evidence and challenges the department's methods. Something isn't right. <p/> Arabella wasn't the intended target. <p/><i>He</i> was. <p/><b>Perfect for fans of Randy Wayne White's Doc Ford and Robert B.
