Scarlet Wilson made a mistake when she quoted Shakespeare. 'First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.' Less than an hour later, a lawyer was murdered in a parking garage in Hartford, Connecticut. Not just any lawyer, her lawyer! When she discovers C. Philip Grimshaw’s dead body shortly after their meeting, she’s stunned. While she’s on the phone with the 9-1-1 dispatcher, she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with his killer. Connecticut State Police homicide investigator Laurencia Larry Rivera, Scarlet’s long-time friend, just happens to be in the vicinity as part of a task force, working with the Hartford Police, when the call comes in. Do people really believe Miz Scarlet was involved in the murder? Challenged by Larry to solve the case before the Hartford cops can make an arrest, the intrepid 'arm chair' amateur sleuth is determined to figure out this whodunit , lest she lose the bet and be stuck hosting Larry’s opinionated, sharp-tongued mother at the Four Acorns Inn. Scarlet doesn’t believe it was a bungled robbery or an attempted car-jacking gone wrong. She thinks the killer knew C. Philip Grimshaw and came to the parking garage with the intent to murder the acrimonious attorney. That weapon was a dead giveaway! Miz Scarlet’s 'significant other', Mercer Security private investigator Kenny Tolliver, is hired by the law firm of Martin, Dubinsky, and Moore to uncover what C. Philip Grimshaw was up to just before he was killed. Kenny invites Scarlet to accompany him to the Florida Keys as his assistant, thinking the couple will have time for romance. But that will have to wait. How did the killer find her in Florida? Islamorada is the fishing capital of the world. With millions of dollars in prize money, the tournaments draw the best anglers. The competition is fierce. The prize money is lucrative. Dirty little secrets, blackmail, and a killer on the loose add up to trouble for Scarlet Wilson and Kenny Tolliver. Can they solve the case before anyone else is murdered?
