Has the Swamp Team 3 finally met their match? Fortune finds herself pitted against a deadly adversary, Alex Ripley, a former military assassin and undefeated professional boxer, turned killer-for-hire. Gertie stumbles on a dead body and a rare bird, thought to be extinct. When fellow investigator Brennan Noble ties those two events together he joins forces with Swamp Team 3. They spring into action and uncover an evil conspiracy. Their investigation triggers a dangerous game of cat and mouse between Fortune and Ripley, Fortune's most formidable opponent yet. As the investigation zeroes in on the killer, Fortune and Ripley square off . . . and it's a battle for the ages.

In my opinion Stephen John writes the best Miss Fortune book. Makes the characters smart and goes light on the ridiculous situations.

Of the series of books set in Jana Deleon's world and characters of the Swamp Team 3 and their antics in and around Sinful, Stephen John's books come the closest to the real thing. They have good plots, are extremely funny and generally the characters seem faithful to Ms Deleon's books. I've enjoyed all of the books in his series.

A well-written crime/ mystery page turner that is full of unexpected twists. Highly imaginative, fast-paced and engaging. It has well-developed characters and would make a great gift. Surprise ending.

Fortune, Ida Belle, Gertie, Walter, Carter and Brennan and Jules all go on vacation to the bayou to go fishing and relaxing. They hear that a treasure hunter disappeared recently and they decide to figure out what happened to him. Enter the 'ghost' of pirate Jean Lafitte to add more mystery. A great who-done-it.
