    Synopsis

    Below Mile Zero

    A contemporary tale of suspense, action, and humor.

    Told through the self-effacing, wry narrative of a sometime drifter with a bitter past and an uncertain future when he was stranded in Key West.

    Through his eyes, we witness a clandestine smuggling operation and experience his fear and concern when people around him suddenly begin to die.

    Drawn deeper and deeper into a labyrinth of conspiracy and danger, there seems to be nowhere he can turn; no one he can trust.

    Events come to a climax amidst the thunder and fury of nature, as hurricane-force winds assault Florida¿s southernmost island.

    This is, without a doubt, the most exhilarating and insightful novel of suspense and intrigue I have read. It's like a combination of Nelson DeMille, John Steinbeck , John Grisham and Ernest Hemingway. When I started I found the book charming, heartbreakingly funny and so introspective, that I quickly became completely immersed. That was just the setup for a thrilling ride that rattled my cage to the point where I didn't want to go to sleep, craving the next turn of the screw, but had to force myself to put the book down, so I could make the story last and savor each delectable, poignant, nerve-shredding moment. I've never before been so deeply inside the skin of a protagonist as in Below Mile Zero, and I never did discover his name. I'm going to give myself a couple of weeks then jump into it again...the only time I've read the same book more than once was Pat Conroy's Prince of Tides.
