2nd Place Winner of Florida Writer's Association Royal Palm Literary Awards Runner up for Mystery Fest Key West Whodunit award #1 Bestseller on Amazon Retired PI Jack Cubera just wants to drink beer, fish the flats, and live the simple life of a full-time boat bum. One problem: he’s just discovered his old nemesis—the Key’s most notorious real estate developer—floating tits-up in a weenie bikini in the Islamorada backwaters, landing him high on the suspect list. To clear his name, Jack investigates the curious demise and soon discovers the developer’s most outrageous development to date, Coconut Key—a manmade island shaped like a giant daiquiri glass—is “breaking ground” atop a lobster-breeding habitat in the middle of a pristine bay. As Jack sets out to derail the invasive project and save his salty slice of paradise, a host of unscrupulous characters flush from the shadows soon delivering Jack to the most perplexing question of all: Why would anyone build an island in the middle of an archipelago? The answer, which hinges on a baitfish cage filled with breast implants, proves far bigger than mere shady real-estate dealings.

hkktabor82: I’m extremely disappointed that I have to pay to finish...why can’t you say that in the beginning so I wouldn’t waste my time. The book was pretty good but I very disappointed in you. Very poor of an author to do this.

Sherry: It is not fair to the reader when the Author does not finish the book. It would be nice to have an appropriate ending to let us know what happens to Atlas' mate, her father, and herself. Does she learn to use all of her powers?
