This is the first book I've read by P.J. Parrish and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's pretty gruesome so not for the weak stomached. No romance, strictly police work and murder.

A serial killer is hunting black men on a small peaceful island off the Florida coast. Louis Kincaid, out-of-state cop on "vacation" is working with the local cops to solve these murders. A female FBI profiler is also involved. This is well written with great clues that lead and mislead at the same time. Great twists and turns which totally throw you off the scent (the cops too). They went in so many wrong directions yet finally reached the proper conclusion which I guess is how real cops do it too. Of course, all the cops have issues and there is tension all over the place. A wrong word from one, sets another off and so forth. Very true to life and IMO as you'd expect a police department to function
