The Glades / Clifton Campbell / 42 pages / Food

The cover of this book features a freshly picked orange with a large butcher knife sticking out of it and blood seeping out from the bottom.  Detective Jim Longworth's golf game is interrupted when a body is discovered in the 'glades missing its head, hands, and feet.  A young couple, asleep in a car nearby, discover the body and are suspects.  Jim solves the case - a surprise who done it - and completes his golf game.  The book was written as the pilot for a TV show.

Food - In addition to having an orange on the cover...the victim had capsicum in her stomach, evidence she had eaten spicy Southwestern food.
