All kinds of evolved life forms wash up on the beaches of Key West, just waiting for a chance to wreak havoc on the general population. Take Douglas Barnes, president of Barnes Waste Management, who gets his jollies by sending some amazing things into the outer atmosphere; or Dougie Barnes, who has a predilection for poetry, parrots and perversion. Into this haven for the insane waltzes Trula Montoya, a former TV actress with a secret, and Shaw Chandler, a disenchanted EMS worker on the scent of murder.

"This was an excellent thriller, and a very fast read. Dougie Barnes is one of the creepiest bad guys I've come across in a long time. "

— Scubabarb, 12/31/2012" One of those Key West mysteries with crazy characters, sex, and murder. There were parts that were pretty funny though. It would be a good beach read. "
— Deb, 12/16/2012" I read this in 2007 and can't remember it at all. Not his usual Thorn character. I'm a J.W. Hall fan, but this one just didn't stick in my mind, although I described it as good in my reading record. "
— Carolyn, 11/24/2011" Good book. I enjoy most of his work. "
— Frank, 10/12/2011" very good, excellent writer "
— Teri, 6/11/2011" I'm not fond of thrillers and didn't realize what it was when I started reading it. The mystery element is good, but there's just too much horror stuff for me and too many crazy people. "
