Dangerous Dancing

About the Book

What appears to be an accidental drowning from a luxury yacht, may actually be a homicide. Detective Nick Alexander attempts to recreate the incident, discovering more than a few suspects, all of whom had sufficient motive, and little remorse.  They all seem to have good alibis, however.  His search for the truth takes him from St. Clair Shores, MI (Detroit area) to West Palm Beach, FL where he discovers he’s being stalked.  He also uncovers what looks like drug activity and money laundering, so he’s up against some dangerous suspects.  Even Det. Alexander is surprised at what he finally discovers. Readers are able to view his notes as he attempts to unravel the sequence of fast moving events that almost overtake him. Aviation and boating enthusiasts will get an extra treat.
