Not a book, a short story: it was called Tropical Disturbance, I am fairly sure, was set in Florida, and the PI hero was, again I think, Oscar Sail (or Sale). But I don't know who wrote it, nor if that PI appeared in any other stories. I am sure I read it in EQMM in the 60s or 70s, ad it has stuck in my mind ever since. I even remember an excellent simile, if not word-perfectly, as a said tropical disturbance encounters a yacht: "the head-sail went to pieces with a sound like cats fighting."
