Series hero PI Fred Carver tracks down Robert Ghostly's heroin-addict wife but ends up protecting her when he discovers that Robert is a notorious Florida drug dealer. ``A quick and jaunty read,'' said PW. ``While failing to build up much suspense, Lutz supplies a credible twist at the end of this absorbing tale.''
