But this year, Mini Season brings a boatload of unexpected surprises. Stella's husband, Louis, ends up dead at the end of their dock. Pattycakes, who just got hired at the local gentleman's club-The Snatch Patch-goes missing while working a private party.
Officer Chris Hammond's gun and radio are stolen from the trunk of his squad car. Bart Levine, a small-time drug dealer searching for his next fix, has a wheelchair-bound young woman-and her prescriptions-held hostage in a trailer. Oh, and a Category 5 hurricane is about to blow the seedy underbelly of "paradise" wide open. You won't want to miss it.
Island Chains is a thrilling, gritty, and often funny exposé of the chains of pleasure and addiction in the Florida Keys-drugs, sex, alcohol, pills-and the evils that fuel them. Best enjoyed with an adult beverage.
PRAISE FOR ISLAND CHAINS
"Drugs, human trafficking, robbery, and violence are all realities in our communities. This book reflects those realities and serves notice that even in paradise you may not be immune to the experience. I hope you enjoy Island Chains as much as I did." -Marc Halvorson, Retired Director, Institute for Public Safety, Florida Keys & Retired Law Enforcement Officer
"This novel shows that even 'paradise' has a darker side. Explores the underbelly of island life. It's an awesome look at the other side." -Investigator Christopher Mattson, Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC)
