Publisher's Synopsis
Alan Henderson wanted only to retire from his career as a researcher for the Agency to live a simple, peaceful life. He found the perfect Florida condo, two lovely cats, a bike, and a beautiful view at which to work on his writing. Then a neighbor is beaten to death and robbed. A suspicious wanderer shows up claiming he's Walt Whitman & reminding Alan of his past in Jamaica. Another neighbor is murdered, along with his schnauzer. An old college flame shows up mysteriously. Also, the cops asking a lot of questions. Is he only paranoid or are these intrusions into his peace more than coincidental? One thing is sure--a simple existence is damn hard to find.
