Gator Bite

Troy Bodean Tropical Thriller #7

A mobster-chomping gator. A drifter on a rampage. One or both is coming for Troy!

Troy Bodean hopes that the picturesque Islamorada gives him the rest he desperately seeks.

But there’s a surly mama gator terrorizing the quirky island town. She’s killed a mafia boss’s son, a cross-dressing dancer from Key West, and a Fantasy Fest tourist all in one week. The feds and a nosy, local journalist think it’s the work of the infamous Cowboy Killer—wanted for a murderous rampage up and down the coast.

Leave it to Troy Bodean to get tangled up in this mangrove of a mess and become the scapegoat for all the dead bodies piling up. Yup, you guessed, it, everyone thinks he’s the notorious killer in the hat.

If the reporter catches him, he’ll be on the front page.

If the authorities catch him, he’ll go to jail.

If the Caparelli Mob catches him, he’ll be at the bottom of the gulf in a pair of concrete shoes.

But none of them will get him if the gator gets him first.

Gator Bite is a wild Florida thriller (Book 7 in the Troy Bodean Tropical Thriller series) set deep in the Everglades, where airboats, gator-infested waters, and ruthless criminals all collide. When Troy finds himself entangled with shady developers, corrupt lawmen, and back-swamp villains who’ll feed you to the reptiles without a second thought, the danger and dark humor kick into high gear. If you enjoy action-packed crime stories with quirky characters, laugh-out-loud banter, and a setting that oozes atmosphere, this one’s for you. Fans of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and Randy Wayne White will feel right at home.
