The Sanibel Sunset Detective by Ron Base

There is a secretive organization known as BlackHeart, two wealthy brothers who married the same alluring woman, a mysterious figure dressed in black known as the Watcher. The other boy, Tree’s half-brother, Samuel Callister, known to everyone as Scratch, grows up and becomes-well, what did happen to Scratch, anyway? One of the youths is Tree Callister who grows up to be an unlikely private detective on Sanibel Island. Then lightning strikes and for those boys nothing will ever be the same. Two boys are caught in the midst of a raging nighttime storm on a Sanibel Island beach. THE DEVIL AND THE SANIBEL SUNSET DETECTIVE

No big deal for The Dame with the Sanibel Sunset Detective. And, on top of everything else, as she attempts to come to terms with her marriage and her life, Freddie must find the object that could change the course of American history. The dashing Durango says he's falling in love with her. A Minnesota lothario tries to seduce her. The widow of a Russian oligarch tied to Vladimir Putin-a widow who also happens to be Tree's first wife-wants Freddie to meet a rogue warrior named Durango Banderas in New Orleans. Then Darlene's two rough and tough cousins show up looking for her, and they won't take no for an answer. It comes to the front door in the form of Darlene, a beautiful young woman claiming she's pregnant. But Tree is in hospital, just returned from heaven-or so his pal Todd Jackson believes-and thus a worried Freddie must take over when trouble arrives. Ordinarily, it's her husband, Tree Callister, a private detective on Sanibel Island, off the west coast of Florida, who gets into all the trouble. Particularly when she's an improbable heroine like Freddie Stayner. THE DAME WITH THE SANIBEL SUNSET DETECTIVE
