Last Island South — John C. Boland

USA Today called JOHN C. BOLAND's debut novel EASY MONEY (St. Martin's Press) an "Entertaining whodunit. Great fun!" In Boland's new Key West thriller, LAST ISLAND SOUTH, novice investigator Meggie Trevor is so broke she'll take on any client who pays cash. That includes an old Conch named Hub Bennell, who figures she'll protect him better if she doesn't know too much. The town's mayor is missing. So is an arms dealer's yacht. With Feds and old CIA hands on the prowl, nobody has warned Meggie that staying alive in rowdy Key Wasted is a full-time job. Boland is the author of six previous novels from St. Martin's Press and Pocket Books. The Shamus nominee and International Thriller Writers finalist is also the author of 30 YEARS IN THE PULPS, a new collection of novelettes and short stories from the pages of Alfred Hitchcock's and Ellery Queen's mystery magazines.
