Joey Goldman tries to escape the low level mafioso life he had in New York. Key West offers the paradise he is looking for, but not for long. Family ties and obligations follow Joey to the Keys. This book is a fun read. It is not a hard hitting crime novel or a true “Who done it?”, but it offers a colorful description of the Keys that is not on the tourist maps. Anyone who has spent a lot time in Key West should appreciate this one. I was really enjoying the book until the end. A little more research into the mafia and/or gangs/ cartels may have led to a more plausible ending. Halfway through this novel I bought several books in the series. Based on the Florida Straights ending, I haven’t read them. This was a fun and interesting novel that seemed to give up at the very end. If you want an escape to the Keys and don’t mind an implausible ending, get this one. If you’re a stickler for details, “Forget about it.”
