Bonaire Blonde Book 4 of the Tampa Bay Tropics Thriller Series by George L. Fleming
No shucking around! If killer thriller BONAIRE BLONDE were an oyster, there’d be two literary pearls nestled inside. The first turns back the clock to the long-ago holiday when duo dynamic Reed O’Hara & hubby Jake Dupree meet and fall in love on Bonaire Island deep in the Southern Caribbean. Amid the chaos of mad mystery, sexy suspense & playing golf with hand grenades, the crime-fighting couple forge their bond. Woven into this tangled web is a modern tale, set in the sun, sand & shade of Tampa Bay, where Jake & Reed are tracking down the murderer of a young Cuban dancer who’s death may have been carried out on orders of one of two biker gangs a rumblin’ through the Tampa Bay Area. No pearl clutchers allowed. As Reed sez seductively to Jake, “Go ahead, Fisher King, wet your line in my pond.”
Beyond the Yew by Harold Bell With the turn of the century upon them, the Greenbank gang face uncertainty and challenge on a variety of fronts. From the Balkans to the Americas, and the Alps to the Rockies, the clan’s four generations embrace life across a palette of history, culture, conflict, and community. With an expat’s global vision, rooted in the leafy enclaves of South Liverpool, these artists, teachers, merchants, and healers embrace their legacy, and prepare for the new millennium with a vision conceived and nurtured under ‘the Yew’.
