Straits of Fortune

Straits of Fortune (Mass Market Paperback)

By Anthony Gagliano
$7.99
Special Order - Subject to Availability

Description


Jack Vaughn was a New York cop for a while, but that didn't end well. So he relocated to America's sexiest city and became a personal trainer for some of Miami's hottest hard bodies. In hindsight, he probably should never have gotten involved with Vivian, the footloose daughter of millionaire businessman Colonel Patterson. She ultimately dumped him for a pornographer, but Vaughn can't seem to shake her family. And now the Colonel's offering Jack one hundred grand to perform a “simple” favor: torch the yacht that's floating in the waters behind the Patterson estate . . . along with the dead body that's inside it.

One hundred thousand is a lot of money, so Jack agrees. Which could prove to be the biggest mistake of his life, bringing the carefree, fun-in-the-Florida-sun lifestyle he's learned to love to a very abrupt and very violent end. . . .

Praise for Straits of Fortune…


“Straits of Fortune is intense, exciting, gritty, smooth, compelling and extremely satisfying. You’ll want more from Gagliano.”
-Armchair Interviews

“This novel should establish Gagliano as the newest of Florida noir writers.”
-Boca Raton News

“It’s fast-paced, down-and-dirty escapist grit lit, easily swallowed in one sitting.”
-Miami Herald
