When Pete Johnson has enough of his boss--and his boss's wife, he quits his job as a Florida mortgage underwriter just before the housing bubble burst. His final parting shot sets in motion a chain of events that lead to murder, kidnapping, and a run for his life from both the mob and the FBI. In Key West, aided by new friends experienced at navigating the fringes of the law, Pete fights to save his life and that of an innocent woman, and maybe find his way back to a life he'd forgotten many years ago. Deceit, betrayal, false flight plans, lust, liquor and fear follow Pete from the Florida Keys all the way to the halls of congress.
