520 $aThe rich history of Florida's Tango Key provides a lush and evocative backdrop to a story that begins with the discovery of a body in a house in the center of a mango grove. It's that of Lou Hernando, and the chief suspect is his seventeen-year-old sidekick Ross Blade, a refugee from a troubled family, who'd found a real home with Lou in the cliffside house, a repository of secrets from a time when pirates roamed the nearby waters.
520 8 $aQuin and Mike, old friends of Hernando's, soon find that this stone-and-wood outpost is full of more than the possible identity of Lou's killer. Every major event there is accompanied by unexplained rustlings and a faint scent of jasmine. Their investigation into Lou's recent life turns up a trail of disgruntled women: his ex-wife, his business partner, a local reader of tarot cards.
520 8 $aBut as St. James and McCleary home in on the possible suspects in the crime, they begin to realize that the true object of Lou's erotic obsessions was a woman whose image adorns the main room of the Hernando family homestead: the mistress of the bones, Luz, a former slave who'd been brought to Tango Key from Cuba. Only by delving into this mysterious woman's history can the identity of Lou's killer be found.
