Search - Key West Connection (Dusky MacMorgan, Bk 1)

Great book - beginning of a new action hero. Very similar to Lee Child and the Jack Reacher novels.

Florida mystery writer Randy Wayne White wrote this book as Randy Striker in 1981. It was one of a thriller series, also one of his first books, written during what he called a training period. He said that he wrote this book in nine days.

I got this book based of the name and was not sure what to expect. I don't like things that are too suspensful and this book had me on my seat but not too much. I enjoyed the book and the main character was captivating. A few twist in turns. I liked it because it was light action and not too intense.
