Description
xWhen an old co-worker of Tricky Dick's shows up on his boat one day, he isn't surprised to find a dead body the next, with all signs pointing to his old friend as the newest killer. The last thing Tricky Dick needs when dealing with a dead body, a boss from his past and a mysterious woman in his present is one of his most notorious co-workers to be waiting for him on his boat. Not only is Traitor Vic in town, he's here for good, opening a new rum distillery on the island in an effort to go legit. That plan goes to hell when a dead body is fished out of one of the stills, and Tricky Dick just happens to be then when it does. Believing it no coincidence, Tricky's old boss and current Key West police chief gives him 24 hours to come up with some leads. Soon Tricky is being followed by unknown people as he tracks the anonymous killer of an unidentified victim, all the while keeping Traitor Vic and the Chief from knowing each other is on the island. It is only when he finds out who the victim is that the full weight of the crime becomes obvious and gives him the greatest shock of his life. That is, until he finds out who Scooter really was... "Traitor Vic's Rum Punch is the second entry in the Tricky Dick Key West Mystery series, picking up the action from where the first volume, "Talk Murder To Me" left off. Filled with offbeat characters, authentic locations and continual plot twists, these books take the reader directly on a literary vacation to the paradise at the end of the road known as Key West.

By Jack A. Terry
xJack Terry has made a modest living by immodestly following his heart's desires, and that includes writing. Born and raised in central Connecticut, Jack attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Armed with a prestigious, if slightly impractical, degree in theater he did what most people in his family had done before him: hightailed it to San Francisco. That began a lifestyle lasting more than 20 years which has seen Jack live and work in various places across the country, first while pursuing acting before transitioning into writing, the whole time paying his bills by saying "shaken or stirred?" For five years he spent working on both those skills by living in Key West. During this time he managed to win recognition for his writing, travel the country talking about rum, and most importantly get to learn a little bit about life on an island that's also at the end of the road. Most of Jack's writing has been best described as "slice of life...with a twist." Exploring issues of loss, redemption and love, he is not afraid to push the boundaries of traditional fiction, just a little bit, to create a world that looks just enough like the one the reader is familiar with that the differences, when they appear, do not come with a sudden surprise but rather slip silently through the side door.
