Simon & Schuster Audio, New York, 1999.  ISBN 0-671-04623-3.  4 cassette tapes with approx. playing time of 4.5 hours, still in manufacturer’s shrink wrap; sticker ghost on front wrap, marker through bar code on rear.  ‘A rising star at a Manhattan corporation, Fiona is a New Yorker through and through, with a New Yorker’s disdain for anywhere but the city’s bustling streets.  When her boss inexplicably sends her to handle a new account in the Florida Everglades, it may as well be another planet to city-slicker Fiona. … More than a little steamed at this detour from the executive fast-track, Fiona never imagined that the rough-hewn, undeniably handsome Ace Montgomery from the Southern backwoods would become her closest ally.  But hair-raising circumstances pull her deep into trouble from the moment she steps off the plane.  Only in the heart of the swamplands could she get lost in a maze of intrigue and become the prime suspect for a shocking murder – with Ace as her presumed accomplice.’ (from rear box)
