Product Description |

Below Mile Zero A thrilling tale of suspense, action, and humor. Told through the self-effacing, wry narrative of a sometime drifter with a bitter past and an uncertain future who is stranded in Key West. Through his eyes, we witness a clandestine smuggling operation and experience his fear and concern when people around him suddenly begin to die. Drawn deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of conspiracy and danger, there seems to be nowhere he can turn; no one he can trust. Events come to a climax amidst the thunder and fury of nature, as hurricane-force winds assault Florida's southernmost island. |

Below Mile Zero |
|
I have lived in Key West for over 11 years and thought I knew the town pretty well. Below Mile Zero was more than an engaging story set in this eclectic town, at the end of the road. It was a wild ride through the neighborhoods and over the waters as the protagonist gives us his first-hand account of people, places and events that happened behind the scenes of Duval Street, throughout New Town and Stock Island. The first-person narrative allows the reader to become the character, and I found myself questioning what I would do, what were my values and how much of this really happened, knowing some of the local legend and folk lore? The quotes from literary greats throughout the book give one pause to reflect on the common thread of life that makes sense (or nonsense ) of it all. And, for you dog lovers...well you are in for a treat and will recall why they are called "Man's Best Friend". This is a great read! |

Key West Thriller is a Great Read! |
|
I am fortunate to have read this Key West thriller. Below Mile Zero has an incredibly accurate sense of place, beyond the bars of Duval Street, and gives you an idea of the complexity of Key West. The characters are real, and you learn to care enough about them, the ones you love as well as the ones you hate, that you have to know what becomes of them. The plot twists and turns, taking you along with it, and you will not want to miss any of it. You could never have guessed how it ends. The book is beautifully written, truly a work of literature. Below Mile Zero is well worth your time and effort. You will not regret spending your time seeing what could be going on in the Key West you don't normally see. |
