Great storyline that could easily be placed in any era however, the author did a great job and his research was excellent to pinpoint the tensions and societal changes of this very climatic time period. A great read for all! ( ![]() A friend who knows I like noir fiction told me about this book, so I bought it on her recommendation. It's a totally together crime novel about a guy who returns to his hometown of Key West after serving time in prison. When he gets there, he finds things are very different from when he left, and he soon finds himself framed for murder. The Key West of this novel wasn't at all what I'd expected...no sun, no margaritas...just a very dark story in a very believable setting. This is a great book and I'm looking for more from Mike Dennis. Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. A quick easy read set in the wonderful Key West.
