Paradise is Deadly Gripping Tales from Florida's Gulf Coast

"Florida Man," one look at a headline beginning with those words sets up the expectation for a story that is ... well, a story that could only happen in Florida. From Florida crackers to Ybor City mobsters, touristy amusement parks to prehistoric native sites, the 20 talented authors of the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of Sisters in Crime present a collection of crime fiction stories worthy of Floridians.

Paradise is Deadly takes readers on a romp along Florida's Gulf Coast past and present.

"The stories range from creepy to terrifying to old-school whodunit to just plain fun. Their plots revolve around archaeological digs, murder for hire, and the accurate pricing of second-hand designer purses. All use the details that make this state stand out from the other forty-nine: the weather, alligators, Florida Man, and of course, a skunk ape."
