Nicki Pearl is the perfect daughter - every parent’s dream. And that of strangers, too. Wherever she goes, she’s being watched. Each stalker is different from the last, except for one thing - their alarming obsession with Nicki. Nicki’s father is turning to someone who can protect her: retired private detective and ex-Navy SEAL Jon Lancaster. Unlicensed, and unrestricted, he plays dirty. But this case is unusual. Why so many men? Why this one girl? Does Nicki have something to hide? Or do her parents? Trawling the darkest depths of southern Florida, Lancaster faces a growing tide of secrets and deception.

Another home run
Any additional comments?
Burned through all three books in the series and now I'm disappointed that there aren't any more. Poor Skegs takes a beating in this one. I love the storytelling style: multiple storylines all interconnected that eventually all come together at the climax. Great series for fans of Carl Hiassen, Elmore Lenard, and Dave Barry. It's been several years since this book came out and I hope this isn't the last time we see Fish and his friends.
Yet another excellent narration job by Luke Daniels!
