Love is worse than a bullet. It kills you slower. Suckerfish City is a crime-thriller wrapped in a murder mystery delivering a darkly comedic slant on the tragic reality of South Florida's organized crime underworld. A world where narcotics are a way of life, vigilante justice is law, and love is a lie. They called him "Sucker," but it took one to know one. Since the age of fourteen, the homeless runaway took up residence on the ten-mile stretch of seawall between Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. By day, he lived the life of a beach rat, scavenging the shoreline for pulp fiction paperbacks. At night, he'd read by the glow of car headlights on A1A, dreaming of the chance to contribute his own verse. After unwittingly landing in the middle of a drug deal gone bad, Sucker would escape with a kilo of uncut heroin, two Glock's, and the beautiful teenage daughter of a notorious drug lord. An adventure surpassing any epic he'd read would pit him against machete-wielding voodoo warlords in the Everglades, a crooked DEA Agent with a pastrami fetish, and a sadistic, one-eared cocaine addict bent on vengeance. All while struggling to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of his beloved mentor and escaping with the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, Sucker would learn the hard way that Cupid's arrow is deadly, and the little cherub is a horrible marksman. Suckerfish City is a pulp noir cautionary tale of misplaced loyalty and blind obsession in the vein of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Quentin Tarantino from bestselling authors - The Brothers Rodemeyer.
