Jessica, Dr. Hazlitt, Mort and Maureen Metzger went to south Florida to attend the funeral of a friend. When they arrived they learned that the police were holding the body pending investigation of circumstances surrounding Portia's death. She had been a leader in the Foreverglades community and was loved by her friends there. So what happened? The developer had made many promises to draw people to Foreverglades and now he is conveniently forgetting them. Opposition to a further development project blocking view of and access to the beach and ocean has gotten heated. Was Portia murdered and if so, why? Did it have to do with the protests she had led?
While in Key West visiting a friend, Jessica and Dr. Hazlitt experience the laid back atmosphere, Key Lime Pie and very hot and humid weather. And when Jessica was investigating a project she had an "accident." That this work site was owned by the same developer as Foreverglades threw more suspicion on his company.
Jessica, Dr. Hazlitt and Mort in addition to Sam, one of the seniors, helped the Foreverglades police department checking on drug use and the origins of some incriminating rumors. It seems that where Jessica goes there will be murder.
