A dark secret simmers beneath the surface of a sleepy Florida town. When a handsome and mysterious stranger arrives in Crooked River, the town is consumed by rumors. Although a deeply private young man, Dieter befriends everyone from deckhands to shopkeepers. On the rebound from a disastrous relationship, the charming but hesitant Maggie Paterson falls in love. Teddy Mink, the town's notorious, paranoid drug lord, convinced that Dieter's a narc, formulates a plan to silence him. Maggie's recently estranged ex, who moonlights as a drug runner for Teddy, jealously agrees that Dieter must be handled - no matter the cost. From the moonlit beaches of Quintana Roo to the waterfront docks of Crooked River, Florida, Fever Tree charts the surprising journey of a deeply troubled young man zealously guarding the secrets of his past. For fans of Southern noir and suspenseful crime fiction.
