Nick Slaughter, a former RCMP and DEA agent, who had left the company after being fired from his job, moves to the Florida town of Key Mariah to set up a detective service.

Nick Slaughter, an ex-RCMP and DEA agent who dropped out of society after being fired from his job, relocates to the Florida town of Key Mariah to start a detective service. In the process he meets local travel agent Sylvie Gerard and they form a strong partnership, and quite the detective team. However, the local police squad never makes it easy so they often require help from their friends: Ian, Spider (owners of the Tropical Heat Bar at different times), and local police mortician Rollie. The town of Key Mariah will never be the same thanks to Nick Slaughter and Company.—Janet Worth <[email protected]>
