Collateral Damage

Matt Royal is in trouble and probably in love, but he's not sure. His buddies, Logan Hamilton and Jock Algren, come to his aid and together they try to figure out why a young bridegroom was killed on the beach of their southwest Florida island and what, if anything, that murder has to do with other murders that took place aboard a dinner cruise boat the same day. Fun in the sun becomes a deadly chase when Matt and his friends run into some very bad guys who seem to have no compunction about killing people.

"Griffin's Matt Royal novels may be the closest approximation we have today to John D. MacDonald in his pulp-fiction prime. Griffin captures the mood and tone of the McGee novels nicely. Good fun." ~Booklist

"In the best John D. MacDonald tradition, the pulse-pounding action never stops. Griffin's well developed crime novel provides solid escapism. ~Lansing State Journal
