About this ebook

There’s Darkness, Even in the Sunshine State

Miami Jones knows that South Florida has its fair share of sharks, and not all of them live in the ocean. When a young boy is dumped in the water off the coast, Miami goes looking for answers. What he finds is a world of crooked bookmakers, slick Las Vegas Casino moguls and a desperate band of brothers playing a forgotten sport. Forgotten by everyone except the person who wants the players dead.

Miami takes Florida sliding down a sinkhole rather personally, so now he’ll stop at nothing to prevent the circling sharks from consuming his beloved home.

Ratings and reviews

This was the typical Miami Jones I've grown to love. As with Offside Trap, there was serious action and suspense, peppered with his sarcastic humor. Good story. Great read.
