Kiss Gone Bad

by Jeff Abbott

A death rocks the Gulf coast town of Port Leo, Texas. Beach-bum-turned-judge Whit Mosely is summoned to a yacht where the black-sheep son of a senator lies dead.

When Whit defies political pressure and conducts an inquest, he and Detective Claudia Salazar expose a nest of drug lords, con artists, and power-hungry sharks - all out for blood. With their careers - and their lives - at stake, Whit and Claudia must unearth a lethal trail of passion and deceit that lies buried not in the warm sands of Port Leo but in the icy recesses of the human heart...
