When Baltimore City homicide detective Addie Gorsky left Charm city to become head of security at Florida's premier retirement village, she was glad to leave the big-city mayhem behind. Tired of dodging bullets, she'd moved to north Florida to be with her father, not tussle with criminals.

But when Mystic Cove's most obnoxious resident is found dead in his tricked-out golf cart, Addie springs into action. While the local cops zero in on the unhappy wife, Addie knows there's a lot more to this tale. Only the deeper Addie digs, the more questions turn up.

Surrounded by secretive residents, Addie finds herself facing off with a killer as cool as midnight. A killer who had no compunction in killing again.
