FBI Agent Maggie O'Dell is sent to Florida to investigate a fishing cooler that was found by the Coast Guard. The cooler contained a foot, three hands, and a torso; each individually wrapped in plastic. An autopsy of the torso helps Maggie discover the identity of a man who disappeared from the Atlantic coast earlier in the year during a hurricane. How did he end up in a cooler floating in the gulf? With a new hurricane bearing down on the Florida panhandle, Maggie only has hours before she must evacuate the area.

I thought the eighth book in the Maggie O'Dell series was very uneven. We knew who the villain was pretty much from the beginning, so there was really no guess work. This story was told from the point-of-view of several characters. Many chapters ended abruptly. I wanted to continue the scene, but the story would pick up hours later. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Liz Bailey played just as big a part as Maggie. I wouldn't mind reading more about Liz. Maybe Kava could write a series featuring her character. My rating: 3 Stars.
