"Gripping. I hung on to every word ..."" - H. L. Osterman, author of Short Changed "You can count on Coburn for a good mystery ..." - Bryon Rupert McCafferty, Seattle Book Journal Malice murder is by law a homicide done with express or implied malice. Express malice is the deliberate intention to unlawfully take the life of another human being, which is manifested by external circumstances capable of proof. Malice is implied when no considerable provocation appears and where all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart. KWPD Detective Earl Gleason and his new partner, Detective Rachel Powers, have their hands full with a series of brutal homicides in a homeless encampment. Each a puzzle of its own with no apparent connection to the others. Other than the fierce brutality involved, that is. Jack Hunter returns to Key West and is soon caught up in the investigation. And in no time, falls under suspicion. Nor does it take him long to get the attention of one killer as another one comes for him.
