Gumbo Limbo — Tom Corcoran

In this acclaimed mystery series, author Tom Corcoran takes readers to the sizzling, spicy, sometimes seedy Key West, plunging them into a dangerous mystery featuring freelance crime-scene photographer Alex Rutledge. When Alex's Navy pal, banker Zack Cahill, disappears from famous Hemingway haunt Sloppy Joe's, Rutledge isn't alarmed. But a daylight murder on the tourist Conch Train and a drive-by shooting shatter Key West's August calm for good. Rutledge's smarts tell him his friend is involved, especially when Zack's ex-mistress shows up with a spiny tale of laundered money, shady investments, and a pay-off worth killing for.
