Between the gentle trade winds and the thriving tourist trade, the year-round summer days and the languid nights, the living is easy in Key West. That's just the way P.I. Gideon Lowry likes it. These days, when he's not bird-dogging AWOL witnesses for the state attorney's office, Gideon's at the keyboard, giving them Gershwin and Porter to chase away the blues and help chase down the booze. That's where Virginia Murphy finds him. Shrouded in somber white, she's come back to Key West to lay a real ghost to rest -- by finding out who murdered her sister, Lila, nearly forty years before. For Gideon, it's a gig that leads him down the darker side of memory lane -- where haunting snatches of his own past, like the timeless melodies he plays, linger on. Secrets linger there, too. But they're buried as deeply as the paradise that was Florida's landscape, now entombed beneath the concrete of Bayard Cement. That ubiquitous family business -- and the wealthy, influential clan behind it -- are a wall that Gideon slams up against harder and harder as he investigates his hometown's hidden history. That's when Gideon takes the pledge -- to unlock the shocking truth that Key West has concealed too long beneath its sunny, sultry surface, and to face a killer's music and dance.

Set in Texas and Afghanistan, Border Crossing is a big-spririted and full-throated coming of age story that blends the timeless themes of family, adolescent uncertainties, and budding sexuality with up-to-the minute issues of war, immigration, and the challenges of small-town life in a nation gone slick and urban. Del Ray Gunn, the protaganist, is someone well worth rooting for.

The fat boy died in Montreal. The heat came down in Florida. He was the three hundred-pound son of a mobster caught in the beginning of a blood feud. For two days he'd been running women up to a killer named Brown-then he walked into the middle of a fatal shootout. Bounty hunter Craig Chappell had a personal score to settle with Brown-but the fat boy got in the way. Now the Mob is involved, Brown is on the loose and Chappell has the murdered boy's family to answer to. From the snows of Montreal to the swamps of south Florida, Chappell and Brown are hunters-and the hunted-in a deadly swirl of organized crime gone mad. A strong, beautiful, soul-scarred woman is the only that stands between them. Death is all that lies ahead.

Dealing with criminals his way led Tony Harwood to a parting of the ways with the Miami cops. Now he's trying to make it as a private eye in the funky Florida Keys -- and gaining a reputation for getting results...his way. Ramon Marquesa has a reputation, too. As the scion of South Florida's most powerful family, and the untouchable brother of a political strongman, he's got a stranglehold on Key West that can't be broken. But now he's frantic to hide the only witness who can prove his guilt in a cold-blooded drive-by shooting. Prosecuting for the State Attorney's office, Kay Fulton needs the Marquesa conviction to keep her from abandoning her own convictions about the law, life and love. That's why she turns to Tony Harwood. But finding the key witness in Key West will mean penetrating the sun, surf and sub-machine gun subculture of the island's Cubano community -- where everyone, cops included, mambos to Ramon Marquesa's tune. That means Tony Harwood will have to play hardball...or die hard.

Even Ernest himself would probably have fled Key West's Hemingway Days celebration -- a week of raucous tourists and swaggering Papa pretenders that sends locals into hiding. Thus the low profile assumed by Gideon Lowry, playing his weekly piano gig at a quiet hotel, fighting his daily urge for a drink. That's where Asia -- just Asia, like Madonna -- finds him. Beret-clad, with lips the color of a plum, she glides into Gideon's world on the breathless end of a classic tune. She's left her aerie at MTV to find her estranged husband, who's lost in the reverie surrounding his obsession: Hemingway. But Asia doesn't want him back, she wants a divorce -- and is ready to pay handsomely for it. As the Hemingway festival builds to its crescendo, mainland violence pays a nasty visit. There's an evil dancing behind the carefree facades of Duval Street, and it will take every sun-bitten ounce of Gideon's Conch resolve to reel it in...

P.I. Gideon "Bud" Lowry has been known to play Cole Porter tunes during his late-night piano gigs, but lately he's had reason to finger some melancholy melodies. Besides a suspicious fire near his Duval Street home, Gideon's old flame, successful restaurateur Gabriella Wade, is getting married. Years ago, Gideon and Gaby were a hot item, before her true love -- her Blue Moon restaurant -- monopolized her time. But now her wheeler-dealer fiance, Roy Emerson, is refusing to take a simple medical test and she wants Gideon to find out why. Fired up by his misfortunes and a strong desire to protect Gaby, Gideon begins an investigation into Roy's background that stretches from Key West to the Wild West -- Wyoming. And the results are explosive. But before Gideon can open Gaby's love-blind eyes, she and Roy elope, and disappear. With throngs of tourists descending upon Key West for the annual Halloween parade, Gideon is one native Conch who isn't masking his fears -- because if he doens't find Gaby soon, he'll be left standing alone at the Blue Moon forever.

THIS IS A LOVE STORY. Many happy moments preceded a couple's losing struggle with disease. Following the arrival of an illness that could not be cured, there is watchful waiting, followed by loving care, and, finally, acceptance that death is inevitable. Then there's death itself. Trauma, grief, and depression follow. Waiting in the wings and then coming in without an invitation are remorse and unnecessary guilt. The death of a longtime companion ends a happy partnership. It's not something that can be prepared for, even though it is anticipated. This love story has no ending. The path to recovery is painful and takes a long time. Friends, therapy, hard work, prayer, and luckall have their place in the journey. That new love is possible is a pleasant surprise, sometimes not sought after, and sometimes wanted but impossible to find. Every now and then, there's a happy ending. This is that story.

Ex-football player, ex-cop, Harry Molina, is paid to keep people safe. In sunny Southern Florida, a lot of people need his help. Harry's friend, Bryce Marshall, a high-strung Miami financier with a slew of bad debts, has been forced into a disappearing act that may never end. Bryce's beautiful wife Maria, whose Sicilian good looks are attracting some dangerous strangers, needs protection too. Then, out of nowhere, eighteen-year-old Jane Unruh has come forward with stunning news: She claims to be Harry Molina's daughter-a daughter he never knew he had. And as a witness to a murder in Key West, Jane has crossed paths with a remorseless killer. In a land of randomness and sun, the heat is on. Key West after sunset will be deadly dark, and unless Harry takes fast action, no one will make it through the night alive.

It must be something in the air. First, reclusive circuit judge Just Watson -- who is now, by attrition, Gideon Lowry's closest living relative -- announces that he's retiring from the bench and getting married. Then Casey, Gideon's sometime lover, calls from Miami with the news that she's engaged. Gideon isn't drowning his sorrows in rum these days, but a true Conch needs something more than hibiscus and humidity to take the edge off. A date arranged through the island's discreet escort service doesn't disappoint. Katy Morgan is lovely: a fragile reminder of Gideon's long-lost youth. The next morning, Katy appears at Gideon's Duval Street home to engage his services -- as a private eye. She confesses she has something that doesn't really belong to her: a jewel-encrusted gold chalice from one of the old Spanish ships now being salvaged off the coast. Frightened yet defiant, she's wary of divulging more. A day later Katy's dead, sprawled on the linoleum floor of her shabby trailer, the open oven spewing gas. The chalice is nowhere to be found. When Gideon last saw her alive, in the club where his piano soothes weary hearts with Gershwin and Porter, she'd been arguing with a man Gideon didn't recognize. Now that man -- Joe Delgado, a deputy to treasure salvor Brendan Scott -- is sitting white-knuckled in Gideon's wicker chair, anxious to hire him to clear up the mystery of Katy's death, and to find the missing chalice. Gideon's investigation leads from Scott's wealthy local investors to the judge, embarrassed by an indiscreet long-ago affair, to cop Webb Conners, a buddy from Gideon's drinking days who's recently added sex to his list of addictions. Suspicion even lights on the judge's fiancee, a socially ambitious woman whose first husband had ties to the salvage business and died broke. But the truth of Katy's death lies deeper than greed, and the stench of it will take more than a stiff sea breeze to blow away.

After Chicago police detective, Patrick Bowman, is shot and wounded in a street dispute gone awry, he and his wife, Lee, head to Key West for the winter to allow him to recover. Their stay is interrupted by a series of murders that have all the attributes of a serial killer. As he reluctantly gets pulled into the investigation, he must confront Key West Police Chief Raul Jiminez who is up against a grand jury investigating him for embezzlement. The heat is on in the southernmost city.
