High Tide Homicide
A Weird, Wacky, and Wild Florida Mystery You Won't Forget!
In the heart of Florida's untamed coast, where alligators get spa treatments and every Tuesday feels like a full moon, ex-executive turned reluctant private investigator Gumbo Malone is neck-deep in the weirdest case of his offbeat career.
When gutsy investigative reporter Eliza Mercer claims she's being stalked, Gumbo figures it's just another day in the swamp. But her story blows wide open into a dark tangle of environmental crime, exotic animal trafficking, and massive coastal corruption tied to a secret operation known only as Operation Sandcastle.
As the clues pile up and bodies start surfacing (sometimes with newspapers wrapped around dead fish), Gumbo and his partner, Ellie Hightower-a former forensic accountant with a talent for untangling money trails and brewing hurricane-strength coffee-must dodge crooked politicians, taxidermy-obsessed developers, shady trackers, and one mysterious art thief called The Pelican.
Set in the quirky, danger-filled world of Cedar Key, Florida, this fast-paced, laugh-out-loud mystery will have you hooked from the first flamingo sighting to the last twist in the tide. From rundown houseboats to abandoned mini-golf courses, High Tide Homicide delivers a hilarious and thrilling ride through Florida's most bizarre corners.
Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and Dave Barry, this wild ride blends humor, crime, and Florida weirdness into one unforgettable coastal caper.Dive into High Tide Homicide today - because in Florida, the real danger isn't the wildlife... it's the people.
