T.D. Stash, part-time sleuth, was over his cool head 'n dirty business in the Everglades: There was an adorable little girl who claimed her loving father wanted her to be an adorable corpse... a tycoon who bred killer alligators for profit and pleasure... a sex kitten with skin you'd love to touch and claws you didn't want to feel... a pair of twin sadists who offered a double dose of pain for your money. And as Stash cast his line for the savage secret below the surface of the swampland, the fever of fear rose in direct proportion to death's chilling revelations...
