When painter Augie Silver is lost at sea in a sailing accident, his many friends among Key West’s artists, writers, and hangers-on mourn–until, that is, they realize that Augie’s death has sent the prices for his pictures skyrocketing.

Someone, in fact, is upset enough to start trying to bump off Augie for real.
