Mangrove Squeeze
Key West seduces people--then asks them to leave in the morning. Take Aaron Katz. He chucked his NY nine-to-five to restore the Mangrove Arms, a rotting wreck of a guest house. Suki Sperakis, aspiring journalist, sees opportunity in Florida, too, though in the meantime she's peddling ad space for a third-rate freebie paper. Then she stumbles upon a nefarious plot revolving around a handsome Russian, his string of T-shirt shops...and his real business, which happens to involve plutonium. It's the scoop of a lifetime. But who's lifetime? With the Russian mafia on her trail, freewheeling Suki is soon trying to stay one step ahead of the goons and the guns--and leaving in her wake a mix of sunken Cadillacs, abandoned Cold War missile silos, empty vodka bottles, and the occasional corpse. With only the mild-mannered Aaron, his slightly demented father Sam, and an old gangster named Bert the Shirt as allies, can she possibly survive the squeeze?
