About DEEMER'S INLET …

Far from the tourist meccas of Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Beach, a chief of police position in the quiet, picturesque town of Deemer's Inlet on the Gulf coast of Florida seemed ideal for Eldon Quick—until the first murder.

The crime, almost unheard of in the town with just over 1,000 citizens, and a subsequent killing force Quick to call upon his years of experience as a former homicide detective in Miami. Soon after, two more people are murdered in neighboring communities in a similar fashion, and Quick believes a serial killer is on the loose. As Quick works to uncover the identity and motive of the killer, he must contend with an understaffed police force, small town politics, and curious residents. His team uncovers a black market operation whose operatives are working out of Deemer's Inlet, transporting parts for defense missiles. And worse, one of the operatives may be working for him.
