Gill Net Games, the fourth Macduff Brooks mystery and the first of a planned Florida/Cuba trilo-gy, begins with Macduff and Lucinda peacefully reading the newspapers at breakfast at Macduff's Montana cabin. One story in the New York Times is about a body of someone Macduff knows found wrapped in a fishing gill net hanging from a channel marker near Sanibel, Florida. The next day, while fishing near the Montana cabin, Macduff and Lucinda discover another body wrapped in a gill net, also a person Macduff knows. Will there be more? How is Macduff involved? He is under pressure from Washington, D.C. to undertake a mission in Khartoum, dangerous enough to cause his fiancée Lucinda Lang to leave him. Much of the action takes place in Florida, especially in St. Augustine and the small Gulf Coast town of Oyster Bay.
