When Sean O’Brien stops near the Florida Everglades to buy flowers for a woman, he doesn’t know that the purchase will lead to a trail of deceit, greed and murder. Chester Miller’s life goal is to restore rare ghost orchids in the Everglades. Entering the glades, he sees something that is very much out of place. The elder botanist becomes a target.
O’Brien, in a race with the clock, follows a near invisible path that takes him across Florida in a web of dark political corruption. The tables quickly change, and O’Brien becomes the hunted in a fight for his life and the soul of Florida’s Everglades.

Overall, I really enjoyed this listen. The plot revolves around a political candidate that comes under close scrutiny because he is running for office strictly on environmental concerns. With the moniker "Average Joe", the candidate is quickly gaining popularity and even the support of the Republican candidate for Governor. As things progress, he asks Sean O'Brien for assistance after his tires are slashed following a political rally. Sean refuses politely with the explanation that he is not in the business of being a body guard and directing the candidate to the local police. As you might expect, things do change for the worse and Sean finds himself embroiled in a double murder gun for hire scenario that ultimately costs him more than he bargained for.
Now, while I enjoyed the story overall, it is far from my favorite O'Brien read or listen. I gave it four stars, but was torn between three and four. If there was a 3 1/2, that is where I would place it. At 12 hours and 30 plus minutes in listening length, I found the listen overlong. This was primarily due to the overdone preaching of the environmental concerns raised by Mr. Lowe. It is very obvious that the novel is built around his desire to express his point of view. While I have no issue with his views, I do not read mystery fiction to be overly preached to about a highly politicized issue. I do give him props for making the gubernatorial candidate favoring the changes a Republican. Typically, the Republicans are always the bad guys on the side of corporate greed. In reality, corporate and lobby greed has no party affiliation, only self interest.
I did find the narration well done and kept the pace going once the story finally trudged through the preaching. The final two thirds of the listen were very entertaining as it drew to it's conclusion.
