The perfect, nude corpse of a beautiful woman washes up on a pristine Miami Beach - her body tanned and shapely, her nails elegantly manicured. The problem is that the victim, Kaithlin Jordan, was murdered ten years ago. And her convicted killer - her husband, R.J. Jordan, scion of a wealthy and powerful South Florida family - sits on death row, just weeks away from his execution. Newspaper reporter Britt Montero recalls the high-profile murder trial that heated up a volatile tropical city like the merciless August sun. Even without a body, the prosecution case against Jordan seemed airtight and the jury enthusiastically bought into it. Now R.J. is preparing to walk. Impulsive and explosive, with a turbulent love life and a unique, highly charged relationship with this singular metropolis erected between swamp and sea, Britt is only truly happy when she's involved in a juice murder story. And this one has the right smell and feel...and threat.
Because somewhere in the tangle of an enigmatic beauty's bizarre life and even stranger rebirth - somewhere between the sparkling gold coast glamour and flashing neon sleaze - are secret passions and buried solutions that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks. After all, this is Miami, where anything is possible...even dying twice.
