A dead man washes ashore on Saint Lucia missing his head, hands, and feet. Just a torso, really, in a Tommy Bahama shirt. Anchored offshore within binocular distance is Nicholas Fallon, a retired ex-cop from Cleveland with a damaged psyche, shattered reputation, and no intention to get involved.

But he does.

“Mr. Bahama is Damn Dead joins the ranks of Carl Hiaasen and Tom Dorsey, where tropical sunshine lights up the noir heart of the book. A colorful, hard-boiled character set down in an equally colorful world new to him (the Caribbean, in this case) and drawn reluctantly into his old profession, it is classic crime fiction with all the fun and suspense that that entails, and just enough sailing for the nautical aficionado.”
