Joe DeMarco likes to call himself a troubleshooter. It sounds better than “ bagman” or “ fixer. ” With more than a decade of troubleshooting under his belt on behalf of John Mahoney, the Speaker of the House, DeMarco has seen his fair share of dangerous situations.
When Andie Moore, a 23-year-old working in the DOJ’ s Inspector General’ s Office, is murdered in cold blood in Florida’ s Everglades, it falls on DeMarco to get to the bottom of things. Paired with Emma, an enigmatic, retired ex-spy with seemingly endless connections in the military and intelligence communities, they venture south to the scene of Andie’ s murder: Alligator Alley.
DeMarco and Emma waste no time in identifying a two suspects— a pair of crooked, near-retirement FBI agents named McIntyre and McGruder. But as they keep digging, it becomes clear that these FBI agents weren’ t acting alone, and that this goes much deeper than just the murder of an innocent 23-year old woman.
