Clearwater Diaries is the continuing story of Joe "Doc" Holiday & Mia and the life they enjoy in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Many of the characters found in Clearwater Journals carry over into this story. Joe owes Fred Cooper - the retired cop who extricated him from serious criminal charges - a big favor. When Coop's brother-in-law goes missing, he calls on Doc to help him find the guy. Doc isn't convinced that the brother-in-law is worth the effort but agrees to lend a hand. When Danny, the grandson of Doc's friend Ida May Thornberry is found shot in the parking garage of the Mandalay Towers - and there is a connection to Coop's missing brother-in-law - Doc goes all in.
