The opening lines:
A cane was no good for walking on
sand. It penetrated to different levels and caused tentativeness. When Carver
got within a hundred feet of the surf, the cane’s tip made soft sucking sounds
and water appeared in the round holes it left in the sand.
Topical Heat
is the first (of 10) Fred Carver mystery novels published between 1986 and
1996. Carver, a former cop, took a bullet in the knee while on duty and prowls
Florida’s criminal underbelly with a cane and a sense of duty as a private eye.
