Florida. A roadside shop by the highway. In the shop there is a corpse, and our protagonist, Arnold Emeny, a marine biologist, stops to buy oranges and walks in on all this.
Fortunately the dead man is no loss, but still the poor sheriff has to try to find a perpetrator: and as the victim is horrible, many people have a motive. The locals run rings round the sheriff. The story winds on like the Florida highway: nicely constructed and highly visual and witty.
