Octopus Alibi

Fans of screwball Florida crime capers will welcome Tom Corcoran's Octopus Alibi: An Alex Rutledge Novel, the fourth in this well-received series (after 2001's Bone Island Mambo). Rutledge, a forensic photographer on Key West, has three sudden deaths to deal with, including the suicide of the island's mayor. Blurbs from Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton will help steer readers to this deserving author.
