Saraband for a Runaway by Robert White.

Private eye Thomas Haftmann jumps at the opportunity to escape the frigid Northern Ohio weather. Beautiful, troubled Raina Toivela has run away from home again. All he has to do is fly down to Miami, show her photo around, ask a few questions, and take a stroll along the beach before coming back to his tiny office in a second-class resort town and the routine of skip-trace jobs. But it won’t be that easy, and a bullet wound to the head is just the start of his troubles. To find Riaina, he’ll not only have to recover, but wade through a muck composed of lowlife schemers, hungry alligators, and rich degenerates with their drugs and sex parties, all the while knowing two killers will be looking for him to finish the job, and aware at every step of his investigation that the man who ordered his murder is watching his every move with blood colder than any reptile.
