Jake Lydon is back! And looking forward to a relaxing winter in the tropics after the summer "shitstorm" chronicled in Connecdead. But the parttime detective and fulltime slackers dream of endless beer and beach is shattered by the grisly murder of a friend and fellow expatriate. Was it a simple robbery gone horrifically wrong or something more? Something that points the finger at one of Jakes motley crew of drinking buddies as the killer? As with pretty well everything else in his middleage, Jake doesnt have a friggin clue. And neither does Arturo "Arty" Diaz, the regions top cop, who reluctantly takes Jake on as his unofficial deputy. Together, the improbable duo digs deeper, throwing out all the "possible" scenarios to get to the "likely" ones.And together they discover that the mostly likely solution lies with a vicious criminal enterprise exploiting the lives of the most vulnerable on their Caribbean island. Ultimately, they find their case hangs on the deadly blade of a machete. Untrustworthy praise for Jake Lydon"Without question, Jake Lydon is the most appealing paunchy, longhaired, Hawaiian shirtwearing, foulmouthed, chainsmoking, nearalcoholic, antisocial, diabetic, semireclusive retiree detective in crime literature today....Certainly Top Five." Possibly a famous guy who didnt read the book
