His ex-NYPD cop who now must tangle with Cuban spies and gangsters as he looks for a missing woman." - a Barnes & Noble review Set in Key West, this new mystery series promises an intriguing story of murder, mayhem, and duplicity. Rick Marlow is a broken former NYPD cop who had been shot by his partner during the discovery of a dead body in an alley. Half-dead and barely recovered Marlow moves south to Key West, figuring the end of the road might mean a new beginning. Then, hired to find a missing heiress by a Key West attorney, Marlow suddenly has purpose once more. The case takes him from Key West to Miami, where big bucks, blackmail and Cuban Intelligence agents all cross his path.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Have and Have Not is the dramatic, brutal story of Harry Morgan, an honest boat owner who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who swarm the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair. In this harshly realistic, yet oddly tender and wise novel, Hemingway perceptively delineates the personal struggles of both the “haves” and the “have nots” and creates one of the most subtle and moving portraits of a love affair in his oeuvre. In turn funny and tragic, lively and poetic, remarkable in its emotional impact, To Have and Have Not takes literary high adventure to a new level. As the Times Literary Supplement observed, “Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous.”

Book excerpt: A Key West fishing captain takes on Florida’s drug lords in this “splendidly written” crime story coauthored by the #1 New York Times–bestselling novelist (The New York Times Book Review). Though he is one of Key West’s most skilled fishing captains, Breeze Albury barely ekes out a living on the meager earnings of his trade. Meanwhile, Cuban and Colombian drug smugglers thrive all around—and they have their sights set on Albury and his fishing boat. After the smugglers cut his three hundred trap lines and crush his livelihood, Albury is forced to run drugs to survive. But when he gets busted by the crooked chief of police and becomes a target of the drug machine’s brutal hit men, Albury becomes a vigilante on the seas of Florida, unleashing a fiery and relentless vengeance on the most dangerous criminals south of Miami. Along with Powder Burn and A Death in China, this is one of the early suspense thrillers written by Carl Hiaasen and Bill Montalbano, a writing team praised for their “fine flair for characters and settings” (Library Journal). Perfect for fans of the Doc Ford novels by Randy Wayne White, Trap Line is an action-packed preview of Hiaasen’s stellar Florida-set crime novels including Sick Puppy, Tourist Season, and Razor Girl.

If they are to have any hope of surviving, Tristan and Rebecca must decide to trust Stelios and his boss, Wolfson, who tried to frame Tristan for murder in Atlanta. When Consolidated’s forces bring out a living weapon of unimaginable destructive power, they will all have to rely on centuries-old prophecies that appear to foretell the outcome of the impending conflict. On the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the two warring factions clash, thrusting the messenger into a battle for his very life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida Historical Society Harry T. and Hariette V. Moore Award Florida Book Awards, Silver Medal for Florida Nonfiction In May 1945, activists staged a “wade-in” at a whites-only beach in Miami, protesting the Jim Crow–era laws that denied blacks access to recreational waterfront areas. Pressured by protestors in this first postwar civil rights demonstration, the Dade County Commission ultimately designated the difficult-to-access Virginia Key as a beach for African Americans. The beach became vitally important to the community, offering a place to congregate with family and friends and to enjoy the natural wonders of the area. It was also a tangible victory in the continuing struggle for civil rights in public space. As Florida beaches were later desegregated, many viewed Virginia Key as symbolic of an oppressive past and ceased to patronize it. At the same time, white leaders responded to desegregation by decreasing attention to and funding for public spaces in general. The beach was largely ignored and eventually shut down. In White Sand Black Beach, historian and longtime Miami activist Gregory Bush recounts this unique story and the current state of the public waterfront in Miami. Recently environmentalists, community leaders, and civil rights activists have come together to revitalize the beach, and Bush highlights the potential to stimulate civic engagement in public planning processes. While local governments defer to booster and lobbying interests pushing for destination casinos and boat shows, Bush calls for a land ethic that connects people to the local environment. He seeks to shift the local political divisions beyond established interest groups and neoliberalism to a broader vision that simplifies human needs, and reconnects people to fundamental values such as health. A place of fellowship, relaxation, and interaction with nature, this beach, Bush argues, offers a common ground of hope for a better future.

More than two decades following his fifteen seconds of fame, former 1980s rock star Steve Finney now entertains in the Florida Keys as a part-time lounge act and full time bartender. Old friends drag Steve out of the tropical hideout back up to his old home state of Maine for, of all things, a high school reunion and a funeral. But then the inevitable trip back in time and to his old hometown up north gets weird as ancient aliens, angels, and ghosts from the past and present (are they all the same?) try to guide Steve on and off the path. Joining the former rockers coming-of-age journey are some equally confused old friends. The restaurant manager who hates people. A medium who chaotically misinterprets the latest cause he is involved with and the voices he hears, and another buddy whose family is dying off like an endangered species. All of these events come to a head during another summer in the small tourist trap town of Acorn Bay, Maine. Oh yeah, and theres a thirty-eight-pound talking lobster.
