Crime Almost Pays:
Starring Key West's "Bumsnoops"
TOM CORCORAN
Key West has new private eyes on its streets, and Tom Corcoran returns with his eighth novel, a spin-off from his popular Alex Rutledge mystery series. Both longtime fans and newcomers to Corcoran are sure to enjoy Crime Almost Pays, starring an offbeat pair of private eyes. Dubbie Tanner, a man of substance who used to live in his car, and Wiley Fecko, who once drank and slept in the weeds, are now Southernmost Aristocratic Investigations. While they call themselves The Aristocrats, certain members of law enforcement have been heard calling them the Bumsnoops.
Introduced in The Quick Adiòs (Times Six), Tom Corcoran’s most recent Alex Rutledge novel, the rookie investigators have a case in their tropical in-box—and they are over their heads from the start. Rutledge plays no part here—but his friend Key West Detective Beth Watkins must deal with murders, street fights, an attempted kidnapping and a flaky federal agent.
The Aristocrats—who now live in and work out of a home bought by Tanner—are hired for a simple task, but the pay is far too generous and the job goes haywire. By helping a stranger, Tanner draws Fecko and their lovely friend Kim Salazar, a Key West cab driver, into a crossfire of intrigue, dirty tricks, scams and potential double-cross. It gets worse. It gets ugly.
Hardcover edition now available.
Kindle edition now available.

Herman Wouk "Don't Stop The Carnival"
Wouk's 1965 story about Norman Paperman,
a NYC Publicist who bought a resort on a
Caribbean Island. What could possibly go wrong?
It's a story of romance, mystery, excitement, and
betrayal, in a picture postcard tropical setting.

Jimmy Buffett's Parrot Head following will love
this novel because of it's well shaped characters,
storyline, and the images that exist in your
head a lifetime. In 1998, Buffett's play and Trop Opera CD of the same name, brought this home to all Trop Rock fans.
