Devilfish Key

By Todd Cameron

The third noir thriller from Florida author Todd Cameron . . . August 2022. Dean Murdock is a minimum wage laborer at a marina in the small town of Englewood, Florida. He can only dream of owning a boat like the ones he works on, toiling on multimillion-dollar vessels under the blazing subtropical sun. Murdock is a nobody to his superiors, he's an invisible and expendable boatyard grunt. His name has never made the invite list to the annual Labor Day meetup at Devilfish Key--a slow burn for years. One Friday night, after another long grueling workweek--on a total fluke gamble--he hits the big time, winning the Mega Millions jackpot to the tune of $333 million. Murdock claims his prize under a cloak of anonymity and carries on at work as normal. Denied an invitation out to Devilfish Key once again, he plans to make a vaunting display at the island's sandbar gathering aboard his brand-new yacht, Revenge. The day before the meetup, Murdock's estranged son gets word of his windfall and comes out of the woodwork, angling for a handout. This starts a chain reaction of bad luck and trouble, a downward spiral leading to murder, mayhem, and a fiery confrontation out at Devilfish Key. Murdock learns the hard way that money has not brought him nothing but chaos and death . . .
