In book One of the Higgins mystery series, former CIA agent and current U.S. Fish & Wildlife Law Enforcement Officer, Jake Rayland attempts to solve the mystery of dolphins missing from several Florida marine aquariums. Dodging bullets and nothing less than a rocket, he all the while must deal with the absurdities of his life: a by-the- book boss, a board full of oddball and prejudiced nonagenarians who control his trailer park, a daughter in college, an ex-wife and her bottom-feeding lawyer, drug dealers, former colleagues and a bevy of off the wall friends. Jake¿s logical nature and keen sense of humor keep him grounded as he maneuvers through the quagmire of his life while trying to save and protect an innocent family caught in the middle of the dolphin disappearances.
