When a member of the grunge band Slough is killed, Matt Harper searches for the murderer. The trail leads him from the Twin Cities to Florida and a paranoid billionaire's yacht, the Albatross from Bloody Bay. Then he meets a phantom Marine in the Everglades and engages in a one-sided gun battle. A leg washed up on a St. Pete beach, a coven of witches and an attorney nicknamed 'Acquittal' add to the action. Several unexpected twists baffle Matt as he tries to solve his most bizarre case ever.
