The Murders on Cayo Costa is a thriller, a romance, and an adventure story set in the Florida Keys, in the Everglades, and on a magnificent barrier island in the Calusa Blueway near Sanibel and Captiva. Eighteen campers settle into their primitive cabins and, within twenty-four hours, a killing spree begins. The redoubtable Detective Gabriel Ortillo struggles to understand both the mayhem and absent-minded senior sleuth, Libera Grimaldi. He is smitten But is she a victim or a killer? Kayaking, biking, and hiking, the campers discover prime tarpon fishing, crimes against manatees, and the island's historic past, unaware of a stalker among them. Their separate preoccupations with spectacular sunsets, leaping mullet, scurrying armadillos, wild pigs, and phosphorescent insects blind them to imminent danger. In solving this elegant and playful mystery, pay attention not only to the psychology of a determined killer, but also to the possible relevance of details such as cockpit widths and spray skirts, tram and ferry schedules, restroom layouts, the lunar cycle, and centipede tracks.
