Long Way from Eden — David Chacko

A Long Way from Eden opens with an Act of God--a sinkhole that erupts in the sandy soil of Florida to reveal the body of a young woman. Finding her killer takes Sergeant Adam Templeton of Pine County Homicide on a journey through the urban wilds of the New Eden. The hunt does not stop until the last act of a messianic man in an idyllic compound at the edge of the sea.
