Loitering With Intent by Stuart Woods.

Stone Barrington is back and rarin' to go in Loitering With Intent. Just dumped by his current squeeze (for her abusive ex-husband), he sees a chance for some quick dough and fun with a missing person job in the Florida Keys. He must locate young Evan Keating and convince him to sign papers allowing the sale of the family business. Finding Evan on Key West proves easy enough, but after a short conversation, Stone is coshed in the head and wakes up being treated by a beautiful Swedish doctor with whom he rapidly forms a relationship. Keeping up with Evan isn't a problem, but people start dying and what seems like a simple case turns complicated and dangerous. All signs point to a murder-for-hire plot, but figuring out who wants who dead is difficult. Stone and friend Dino put their lives on the line to get to the bottom of this twisted case.

Stuart Woods won't win any Pulitzer Prizes, but he can put a riveting tale together and keep the reader intrigued until the final page. Stone is smart, tough, and funny albeit a bit morally lacking. This book contains sexual content, violence and some rough language. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate it a 6.
