The
stories in this collection, satisfyingly diverse in plot and theme,
take place in a scattering of South Florida settings. In among
the drama of hurricanes and plane crashes, of kidnappers, escaped
convicts, and smugglers, Douglas plants flags that mark the stories
as her own: plume hunters who threaten Florida's ibises, irrational
schemes to drain the Everglades, what happens when human beings
collide with nature in the form of water, weather or wildlife.
