About book Baja Florida (2010)

#5 in the Zack Chasteen series. Apparently the final chapter in the saga of Zack Chasteen, a former Miami Dolphin linebacker.Zack Chasteen heads for the Bahamas as a favor to a dying friend. He is to find the friend's daughter, supposedly on a sailing trip, and bring her and a restored yacht to the friend's island. The daughter and her sailboat are missing and Zack gets conflicting information from her shipmates. Murder and mayhem ensue and someone is intent on pinning it on Chasteen. Well, it took exactly 2 weeks to plow through Bob Morris' 5 novels to date that make up the Zack Chasteen series, and I was not disappointed once. This is a series that is smart, thrilling, with great mysteries and excellent locations. This book is a bit slower than the previous entry (A Deadly Silver Sea). In a way, it resembles an old fashioned mystery with Chasteen searching for a dying friend's lost daughter. What Morris does that works so great is offers a parallel narrative from the point-of-view of the kidnapped daughter, giving the reader an extra bit of tension as Chasteen continues his search. This book also returns to the Bahamas, the sight of the first book. Another excellent book in an excellent series.
