About The Book

On the gulf coast of Florida, development runs rampant, and beachfront property comes at a hefty price. Ace Gonzalez, a local bartender, takes it upon himself to carry on his father’s legacy by fighting against these projects and the crooked teams of money-hungry people who build them. When Ace decides to fight against the most recent development, right in his backyard, he finds he’s in for more than he bargained for. He is pitted against a kingpin developer, Liona, and her crew of hired criminals.


Ace’s life is immediately threatened and when he thinks he’s safe on his boat, he finds a dead body and is arrested on suspicion of murder. He has a chance encounter with a death investigator who turns out to be an ally in his fight. During his interrogation the police bring up his past, an arrest for murder that seems eerily similar to the situation he now finds himself in.


Realizing he cannot rely on law enforcement, Ace takes matters into his own hands, conducting his own investigation. With guidance from his father's old friend, Ace uncovers a a darker side to The Lost Republic, one he never knew existed. Betrayed by supposed allies, Ace fights for his life while working to shut down the corruption for good.
