Preceded in Death : A Florida Whodunit, Assuming Anyone Remembers
Overview
Set against the chaotic backdrop of the year 2000-complete with Y2K panics, the Elián González saga, and the Florida presidential election recount-Preceded in Death follows Ruth Ann Garrett, a sharp-tongued detective running Calusa County's one-woman "Elder Affairs Unit." When a string of elderly residents die "peacefully" at the Fountain Shores retirement community, Ruth Ann discovers a bizarre calling card left at each scene: a vintage restaurant punch card modified with tiny fish-shaped holes.
As she investigates local fraudsters, undertakers, and developers, she uncovers a stunning truth: the victims were the original salesmen behind a notorious 1960s Florida land-fraud scheme, and someone from their past is systematically settling old scores. Blending dark comedy, razor-sharp satire, and a clever mystery, the novel explores aging, memory, and the hidden depths of people the world has stopped noticing.
