With the events in Lake Pruitt behind them, it's been three long, boring months since Dan and Red's return to Key West. But that all changes when a double-homicide hits close to home and plunges the amateur crime solving duo into another action-packed mystery. With Skip still in Georgia with his brother Sam, Dan and Red will have to go it alone. Or will they? In The Replacement , the twenty-second installment in the Tales of Dan Coast Series, we also see the arrival of Jackson Barbosa's replacement, Officer Rowan Remsen. Will Remsen turn out to be an ally, or another thorn in the boy's sides. That question gets answered on day one.
