Summary: 3 Stars
The Alibi Man by Tami Hoag has twists and turns that will catch you off guard. With its Florida back drop the story unfolds between a group of polo players, rich middle aged men who feel they are entitled to do as they please and the little people who work around them and feel they are entitled to get want they want out of life, regardless of what that is. The rich old men want only to debauch the beautiful, spirited young women. The poor, beautiful young women want to use sex to get at the old guys money and lifestyle. Elena is her usual contrary, cynical self and doesn't want anything to do with anybody, but ends up in the middle of it all anyway. This is a gritty story of haves and have nots dealing with right and wrong. There are no innocents in this war and no prisoners taken. Those who are corrupting others come in contact with those that have the similar interests. Some become friends and others become an unimaginable nightmare.
Like most Hoag stories there's a lot of soul searching and the justice is the kind that comes from life, not the court system. The story's point is a clear one, if you hang with bad people, bad things will happen to you, and in this story it doesn't matter how rich or how poor or how entitled the characters are, bad things happen.
Summary of The Alibi Man
She was a vision. She was a siren. She was a nightmare. She was dead. Now he needed her to disappear. And he knew just how to make it happen. The Palm Beach elite go to great lengths to protect their own—and their own no longer includes Elena Estes. Once upon a time a child of wealth and privilege, Elena turned her back on that life. Betrayed and disillusioned by those closest to her, she chose the life of an undercover cop, the hunt for justice her own personal passion. Then a tragic, haunting mistake ended her career. Now Elena exists on the fringes of her old life, training horses for a living. But a shocking event is about to draw her back into the painful vortex she’s fought so hard to leave behind.First she finds the body—a young woman used, murdered, and dumped in a canal. Not just a victim, but a friend. As Elena delves into her dead friend’s secret life, she discovers ties not only to the Russian mob but also to a group of powerful and wealthy Palm Beach bad boys known for giving each other alibis to cover a multitude of sins. A group that includes a man Elena once knew very well—her former fianc?, Bennett Walker, a man she knows has already escaped justice at least once in his life.
Finding her friend’s killer will put Elena at odds with her old life, with her new lover, and with herself. But she is determined to reveal the truth—a truth that will shock Palm Beach society to its core, and could very well get her killed.
