The Commissioner

Dr. Paul finds herself, as the new County Commissioner from District 4, overwhelmed with work, left undone by the past Commission. Two of the Commissioners take great delight in loading her up with a sign ordinance committee. A job two past Commissioners couldn't cope with, an albatross no politician wanted hung on them.
She also acquired a donation of land to build Davis Park, then finds the donors now want to build an enormous development next to it, called Nocatee. With a wry sense of humor, she provides and inside view of commission maneuvers. The slipping and sliding to fulfill election promises to keep the those with deep pockets happy.
One of these money people wants a landing site at his home in the western part of the county for his connivence in his travels. Two of the commissioners grease the skids for him and it shoots thru approval with ease. This landing site soon turns out to be more than a mere connivence rather a major landing site for drugs.
Paul's friend Jeffery Stone gets involved in a multi-agency bust of these dealers. Paul inadvertently finds herself kidnapped by two workers of this cartel. A harrowing chase on the St. John's River in the middle of the night ensues.
