In a small town with big secrets …

Unexplained environmental devastation ravages the southwest Florida Gulf Coast’s vibrant landscapes, sparking panic as the damage inexplicably accelerates in this immersive eco-mystery thriller from debut novelist Tom Mitsoff.

In a quiet corner of Naples, Florida, an unlikely team responds to the crisis while all around them remain unsure how to react:

  • Skipper: An extraordinary rescue dog with incredible intuition
  • Barry Pope: A former pro baseball pitcher now guiding local kids on the diamond
  • Monique Tate: Internationally famous yet private supermodel, fighting for nature behind the glamor
  • Anna Santos: Environmental scientist driven, unrelenting in saving ecosystems from collapse

At first it seems routine – patches of decay amid vibrant greenery. But the damage spreads at an uncanny pace. As panic brews, greedy corporate developers swoop in, seeking to profit off the disaster and hoodwink homeowners. However, this underestimates the tenacity of an uncommon group united by understanding nature’s delicate balances.

Refusing to stand by in the face of deception, the foursome pursue justice. In their mission to expose the truth, they discover the transcendent bonds of friendship – both human and four-legged. For in the darkest shadows, light reveals itself through steadfast loyalty and compassion that ask for nothing in return.

When the toxic dust settles, the fate of the town hangs in the balance. Will Naples fall prey to insatiable human greed? Or will the unbreakable threads woven between kindred spirits protect all they hold dear? The answers lie in nature’s mysterious ways, ways not easily unraveled. But if anyone is up for the challenge, it’s this band of improbable heroes and their stalwart canine guide. The truth beckons them onward to forge a legacy more valuable than fortune – the safeguarding their community’s future.
