"An engaging fun read," -Mark Howell, Key West Citizen.
Inspired by real events, this "Special Edition" updates Wick's 2013 novel with prequel short story, "The King of the Keys."
Trouble is brewing in Key West.
In 1950, Stephen Trumbull was a classic hard-boiled reporter and columnist for The Miami Herald. He drank too much and had a mouth on him. He rubbed people the wrong way. All he cared about was reporting the truth. Reporting the truth can get you into trouble.
Florida State Representative Bernie Papy ran Monroe County. He ran the illegal gambling mecca of Key West, in particular. And he ran it more like a mafia boss than like a state representative. A classic battle of wits and wills.
