The Heat Islands<\/a><\/em> (1992) Randy Wayne White<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Synopsis:
\nWhen the most hated man on the island is found floating, the list of possible suspects seems to be astronomical. Unfortunately, the most likely suspect seems to be Doc’s friend Jeth, and Jeth–who seems to be going through a personal crisis–doesn’t seem to be doing much to defend himself from the accusation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he seems to have developed a bit of a crush on the tennis star who is in the area recovering from elbow surgery, and Tomlinson seems to have found a friend himself, which is as much disconcerting as anything else.<\/p>\n

I am definitely enjoying this series–it’s neither hard boiled nor PI nor police procedural, but more a mix of all of the above.
\nRating: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
