The chance I'll take

A woman's body, a smashed Packard, a half-empty bottle of booze, a dark rainy night sixty years ago. The police said it was a case of drunk driving. But things weren't always as they seemed in Florida's sleepy little capital. The woman-Jo Ellen-had a past and enemies. No one wanted to ask the hard questions. The case went as cold as winter in North Florida, filed away in the dusty basement of the Tallahassee courthouse-until, Jo Ellen's father, Milo Harbert, began receiving photographs from his daughter's past. He demands the case be investigated properly. He goes to a brand-new agency: the Sheriff's Bureau, a shack of an office where he meets Special Agent True Fulton. Fulton's investigation takes him through the storefronts and back alleys and smoke-filled rooms of the little capital, to shady barrooms near Jacksonville's waterfront to the lonely prehistoric woods near Thirteen Mile, all in search for the truth-something that certain well-connected people in Tallahassee do not want revealed. Will Jo Ellen's family ever know the truth, or will justice be as elusive as the streamlined Gulf Wind disappearing into the night?
