Frenchman for the Night

By the light of the moon, it'll be all right...

A killer walks the Keys-and he's not who you think.

When the body of a young woman washes up on Islamorada's shore-hands bound, posed like a seashell offering-bartender Pati tells herself it's just another strange story in a town that thrives on them. But when it happens again. And again. Denial is no longer an option.

As the island swelters in the off-season heat and the countdown to Fantasy Fest begins, whispers of suspicion ripple through Key West. Pati finds herself caught between loyalty and danger: Danny, her sister's maybe-ex husband, has resurfaced with his usual charm and an undertow of secrets. And Michel, a too-polished tourist with a French accent and a disturbing fixation on the Green Parrot's jukebox, always seems to be one step too close to the latest crime scene.

Darkly atmospheric and wickedly sly, Frenchman for the Night blends island lore, offbeat humor, and slow-burn suspense into a mystery where nothing-and no one-is what it seems.

Fans of Cleo Coyle, Carl Hiaasen, and island-set mysteries will feel right at home-if home came with secrets, shadows, and a touch of danger under the palm trees.
