Evil and Everglades

A woman wins $114 million dollars in the Florida lotto. The next morning her daughter finds her on the beach, dead. Her throat has been cut. The lotto ticket is gone. Private Eye, Kip Yardley, is determined to find the winning ticket, even if he has to fight the New York Mafia. A thirty year old plane wreck reveals some clues but the secret is harder to dig out than draining an alligator swamp. Greed and evil continually surface, like scum on the shallow waters of the Everglades. The mob's message to Kip: lay off. Kip's message to the mob: "I don't scare easy." In the long run, Kip Yardley finds that if you want to fight the mob, you have to play by their rules. That means getting a lot more ruthless and cunning to defeat the evil in the Everglades.
