Murder and mayhem are all in a day's work for PI Mike Shayne, but when terrorists reach the shores of Miami, he'll have to up his game. No one knows that Murray Gold is back in Miami and the aging criminal mastermind wants it to stay that way. After being imprisoned in Israel, he disappeared during a raid by Palestinian commandos. Being the most wanted man in Florida—if not the world—has its drawbacks. One being that Gold's former allies have abandoned him, and he needs money . . . fast. And in such trying times, you can't be picky about who you work with. Which is how Gold appears on Mike Shayne's radar, stuffing a body into a trunk while selling submachine guns for heroin. It's the big score Gold needs to disappear for good in South America. Sparking an international terrorist incident is a risk he has to take, and one that Shayne has to defuse if he's to survive another day . . .
