Julie O'Connor left the New York Police Department trying to escape her past. Manny Scanlon left Miami law enforcement running from his nightmares. As sheriff deputies in a small rural Florida town they hope to leave their pasts behind. They are called upon to investigate the murder of a federal inspector found in his car off the side of road, an apparent drive-by shooting. As they probe deeper into his death they are drawn into a world of greed, murder and political corruption that reaches the highest echelons of government and business. Their investigation leads them deep into the Florida Everglades where their discoveries uncover a catastrophic secret-a secret whose consequence would change their way of life forever...a secret that pits them against the forces of evil driven by power and ambition. It is a tale of greed, power, murder and retribution-and one woman's search for justice. | Black Vortex by Dennis O'Connell, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
