A first person presentation of each character in DANCE IN THE EMERALD SUNSET, brings the innermost thoughts to the reader as if a window to their minds is open on the page. While bringing characters from previous books, it is written to stand alone, introducing new and previously known residents of Newport, Florida.. We get a fresh look into the minds of people new to the scene and of people we ve met before. i.e. Sr. Detective, Office of the Sheriff, Neil Barnes; his partner, Detective Matthew Halloway; Alison Cooper, Detective Inspector, City of London; J. Randolph Andrews and friends from the high school, and his father C.C. who donates $3,000,000 to build a new town park. Does the tragedy begin there, is the birthday party to blame, is it the new Beemer, or is it J. Randolph's notion of his entitlement to the good life?
