Deadly Airboats

Macduff and Lucinda Brooks are on their flats boat off Southwest Florida when they come upon an airboat driven into the mangroves. A body is in the propellercage dismembered from being spun to death. The Brooks are drawn into the search for the killer by their curiosity to the dismay of local authorities in Ft. Myers. As they have done since they met Macduff and Lucinda move between St. Augustine Florida and Paradise Valley Montana. Returning from Montana where Macduff has been guiding for the summer season they learn that Guatemalan Juan Pablo Herzog determined to find and kill Macduff but unsuccessful for a dozen years has been elected President of his country. They also are drawn into a second airboat murder this time close to their St. Augustine cottage. They must deal both with the two airboat murders and with Herzogs continued attempt to discover that one-time Professor Maxwell Hunt of the University of Florida law college is now living as Montana fly fishing guide Macduff Brooks.
