An electrifying new novel set in one of America's most fascinating locations—Key West.

An eco-thriller that unfolds in the exotic, ever-vibrant southernmost city of the continental United States, the story follows a series of mysterious and gruesome murders that terrify the community. The book is filled with colorful characters, which include the operator of an off-shore pirate radio station, a female Cuban-American police lieutenant, the developer who wants to turn Key West into another Disney World, and a war vet who preaches a millennial scenario. Here is the "Conch Republic" in all its high and low life, its free and easy ways, and its canny perception of the America beyond.
American Tropic is a bold new work of ecological rage and apocalyptic fear that explores the island's dark desires and hidden truths—and a terrific read.
