"Bill Craig's Marlow Key West series is as entertaining as it is suspenseful with seasoned characters in and around Florida's southernmost point...a tropic archipelago."
—Dick Wall, Editor.

Rip Tide begins with Marlow being hired to find a missing woman who was mistakenly scooped up in an Immigration and Custody Enforcement raid on Duval Street. However, Mona DuValier and several other women never made it to the Monroe County jail. They disappeared between where they were picked up and where they were supposed to be taken. Marlow steps into the shadowy world of human trafficking as he searched for the missing woman. He also finds himself in the crosshairs of a corrupt sheriff and a professional assassin, as well as the head of the trafficking operation. Can Marlow outwit them and find the girl? Or will he end up being caught in a Rip Tide of violence at the End of The Road?
