Jack Vaughn was a New York cop for a while, but that didn't end well. So he relocated to America's sexiest city and became a personal trainer for some of Miami's hottest hard bodies. In hindsight, he probably should never have gotten involved with Vivian, the footloose daughter of millionaire businessman Colonel Patterson. She ultimately dumped him for a pornographer, but Vaughn can't seem to shake her family. And now the Colonel's offering Jack one hundred grand to perform a "simple" favor: torch the yacht that's floating in the waters behind the Patterson estate...along with the dead body that's inside it.One hundred thousand is a lot of money, so Jack agrees. Which could prove to be the biggest mistake of his life, bringing the carefree, fun-in-the-Florida-sun lifestyle he's learned to love to a very abrupt and very violent end....

Nothing really sets this crime thriller apart from others. Our hero is Jack Vaughn, an ex-cop from NYC living in Miami and working as a personal trainer. One of his clients offers him $100,000 to sink a yacht anchored off his property that has a dead body on it and when Jack finally assents to do it, bad things happen. For a book under 250 pages, it took its time getting to this pivotal moment. That scene was the most interesting but then it seemed as if our hero knew everyone in Miami. Lawyer? An ex-client — check. Rapper who just happens to have a gun and money handy in a pinch? An ex-client — check. Bouncer at swanky club? Check. This wasn't so bad that I didn't finish it. But it's nothing I would mark as a “to read” either.
