To piggy-back on my previous email re: Stark House's new Gil
Brewer twofer, I finished the second novel, THE THREE-WAY
SPLIT. It's also set in Florida, this time involving a
shipwreck and treasure (like a Charles Williams sea noir).
Nice tension between the son and rogue father, and quite
different than DEVIL. Both novels are great stuff.
