“I’ve come to look forward to the annual appearance of this mystery anthology. Who would have guessed so many murders take place on the sunny island of Key West – at least in the pages of books.” —Edward Squires, Not Quite a Novella Here’s another can’t-put-it-down edition of mystery short stories. In these pages you will encounter a dozen intriguing tales by Bill Craig, Robert Coburn, David Beckwith, Barthélemy Banks, Hollis George, Jack Mazur, George Davidson, H.L. Osterman, Earl Smith, William P. Bahlke, Rusty the Writer, and Shirrel Rhoades. Some of these stories are neo-noirs, others cozies, still others heads-scratching puzzlers. You will meet spies, murderers, ex-cops, and private eyes. But the focus remains on Key West, that southernmost island where you will find murder and mayhem in Paradise. Shirrel Rhoades is a publisher, editor, and writer who has lived in Key West for over 20 years, so he knows the island from Fort Zach to Fort East Martello, the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. He was a founder of Mystery Fest Key West and served three two-year terms as the president of the Key West Art & Historical Society. An avid reader, he loves a good mystery.
