Description
Best-Selling and Award-Winning Author Four murders and a love affair--and all on the serenely beautiful island of Longboat Key The quiet beauty of Longboat Key is shattered when a young groom is shot to death on the beach the day after his wedding. His father is an old army buddy of Matt Royal, and Matt tries to soften the anguish of his friend by finding his son's murderer. Matt's search takes on added complexity when there appears to be a link between this murder and three seemingly unrelated murders that occurred on board a dinner cruise on Sarasota Bay the same day. Fortunately for Matt, his old buddies, Logan Hamilton and Jock Algren, show up to cover his back and to help investigate. But this case rekindles haunting events of Matt's past and incites a web of doubt, deception, and even suspicion, among the closest of friends. When Longboat Key detective Jennifer Diane (J.D.) Duncan joins the investigation, Matt loses a little focus as he drifts toward more than just a professional relationship. Will this distraction cost lives when they encounter a shady and very dangerous cabal? Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and John Sandford While all of the novels in the Matt Royal Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: Blood IslandWyatt's Revenge

Reviews
"Comparisons to John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee novels are natural, but it's worth noting that the Matt Royal novels also fit comfortably on the shelf among the thrillers of Lescroart, Margolin, and Grippando." - Booklist
"Truly an action lover's delight, this terrific sixth series entry radiates energy as intense as Florida's August sun. Combine a strong sense of place with plenty of over-the-top but exciting situations, and you've got a winner. Try this with your Robert Crais fans and for those who mention John D. McDonald's Travis McGee mysteries with a wistful look." Library Journal
"Griffin's mystery, with its mellow beach bum hero, eccentric characters and Florida ambience, will evoke memories of the legendary John D. MacDonald. Griffin need not suffer greatly by the comparison; he has a trim and tidy thriller that in most ways is worthy of the master." San Diego Union-Tribune "The pace snowballs from a fairly sedentary start to an explosive finish where the final reveal comes with stunning reasoning...The plot is as twisted and tangled as the extension lead at the back of my garage..."
