A1A - A Weird Quirky Florida Mystery (Book 2)

A hilarious Florida mystery adventure full of gators, corruption, and coastal chaos!

When ex-corporate burnout turned reluctant private investigator Danny "Gumbo" Malone ditched the cubicle for a creaky houseboat in Cedar Key, he hoped for peace, sunsets, and maybe a cold beer or two. What he got instead? Florida weirdness turned up to eleven.

In A1A, the second laugh-out-loud installment of this offbeat Florida mystery series, Gumbo teams up with fiery investigative reporter Eliza Mercer to untangle what starts as a simple stalking case-but quickly spirals into a wild web of environmental crimes, shady land deals, and a conspiracy called Operation Sandcastle that's turning Florida's protected coastline into a developer's dream (and a wildlife nightmare).

With the help of Ellie Hightower-a former forensic accountant who makes spreadsheets look sexy-and a crew of unforgettable oddballs including an emotional support alligator and the infamous gator king, Old Scarback, Gumbo must wade through the backwater swamps, retirement home gossip circles, and abandoned mini-golf courses to stop the scheme before they end up gator bait.

Get ready for:

• Laugh-out-loud moments from Florida's weirdest PI mystery
• A fast-paced whodunit packed with absurd twists and eccentric suspects
• Swampy suspense, environmental hijinks, and satirical Sunshine State chaos
• Characters so quirky, they make Florida Man look normal

Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and Janet Evanovich, A1A is a must-read Florida crime caper filled with humor, heart, and a whole lot of Florida strange.
