On Amazon US, from Oceanview Publishing:
EDIT: NOT FREE, $2.99 - sorry for any confusion Collateral Damage: A Matt Royal Mystery by H. Terrell Griffin From Booklist Matt Royal, a fiftysomething retired lawyer living in Florida, jumps in with both feet when an old army buddy (they served together in Vietnam) asks him to find out who murdered his son. But what do the apparently unrelated deaths of some people on board a cruise boat have to do with the case? Not to mention another murder, way off in North Dakota. Matt is an easygoing narrator; he tries to keep his lifestyle laid back, to match that of the Florida beach community where he lives, but it’s tricky when his old instincts kick in, and he’s back in crime-solving mode. Comparisons to John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee novels are natural, but it’s worth noting that the Matt Royal novels also fit comfortably on the shelf among the thrillers of Lescroart, Margolin, and Grippando. --David Pitt Last edited by mitford13; 02-01-2013 at 11:33 AM. |

True Detective (a Nathan Heller novel) by Max Allan Collins is $2.99
http://www.amazon.com/Detective-Nath.../dp/B0054LXWYQ I think this is the first of the Nathan Heller series, for which Collins won a Shamus award. The series is set in the 1930's, and feature a blend of detailed and seemingly accurate history of the organized crime of the period with a fictional detective. Well done, if it's your cup of tea. Although I eventually grew tired of the series, I really enjoyed the first several I read. (To be clear, I do think the writing quality remains excellent on the later books, just not quite my preferred style.) Mortal Sin, by Paul Levine is $0.99 http://www.amazon.com/MORTAL-Jake-La.../dp/B0042X991C This was free a couple of times early last year, but it's quite enjoyable if you missed it. from Library Journal "Lawyer Jake Lassiter is defending Florida real estate developer Nicky Florio in a civil suit regarding an environmentalist's death at a poolside party. ... (Lassiter) ...finds himself witness to a beheading, accused of embezzlement and murder, and on the run. Indian rights, animal rights, and slimy politicians and lawyers all surface in this fourth Lassiter novel. Permeated with cynicism and the corruption of South Florida that recall the work of Carl Hiaasen, this thriller races to a smashing climax." KentE Last edited by KentE; 02-02-2013 at 12:10 PM. Reason: OMG-unintended double negative: Collin's writing quality is still, as always, very high! |
