Congratulations Tom

We really like the cover of your new book as it is so colorful and inviting for anyone to pick it up and read it. And, certainly, congratulations for the publishing of your second novel. Your Mom and Dad are very, very, proud.

With the hustle of Miami to the north and the bustle of Key West to the south, the islands in the middle of the Florida Keys sit in contrasting ambiguity and anonymity. This is changing, however, as progress creeps from each direction like a gathering Atlantic storm.

In the very eye of this hurricane sits a bar called The Sombrero Beach Club. Its owner, an old ballplayer, and a beautiful new resident, a formerly disgraced DC attorney, investigate what is happening and who might be pulling the strings. The mystery takes them back over thirty years while drawing them closer in the process, but are they maybe working on opposite sides?

Events spiral out of control as they race the clock to preserve the innocence of the Middle Keys. They discover things are never what they appear on the surface. But just who is playing who? And more importantly, why?

Hilarious clip
