In this action-packed historical novel, Oliver Redcastle finds himself an ocean apart from his young teenaged daughter when she comes under the spell of a shady orchid hunter who brings her to the Florida Everglades in search of a rare medicinal specimen. As he embarks on his quest to rescue her, the former Pinkerton detective must contend with a cast of colorful characters. Among them: an English ruffian and thief who latches onto him; a train robber on the way to Florida (resulting in Redcastle's “side-trip” to a sharp-shooting contest with embittered Civil War veterans); and an eccentric watercraft designer who tests out his invention on an expedition into the swamplands
