Triple in Paradise

Three short stories by Tom Corcoran, the author of the Florida Keys-based Alex Rutledge mystery novels – although Alex does not appear in these tales. These crime stories are set in Miami, the Upper Keys and Key West. Good and bad weather, good and bad people and questionable judgments all lead to surprising twists and endings.
