Alex Rutledge to the rescue., April 21 2009
By key west "westkey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawk Channel Chase (Hardcover)
Having hung out with Jimmy Buffett and Hunter S. Thompson on the island in the 70's & 80's, Tom knows Cayo Hueso (Key West) like the back of his hand. In turn, Alex Rutledge knows were to find Pecan Lane, Five Brothers (for a Buchi) and where the bowling alley and the Fourth of July Cuban Restaurant use to be.
Tom writes a very good murder mystery too. That is when he is not publishing books of his black & white photos and co writing music. I most like that Tom hasn't lost the funk and grittiness of Key West past. When shrimping and the 'square grouper' were plentiful.
Do yourself a favor and pick up one of Tom's books and drift back in time.

I love Key West and Mr. Corcoran absolutely does the island justice.
All the nooks and crannys are exposed as Alex figures another mystery out.
Hawk Channel Chase is as good as it gets. Breezy adventure done as well as the other Rutledge entries. Thank goodness for Tom Corcoran and Randy Wayne White keeping me knee deep in Florida mystery since the passing of John D. MacDonald and Travis McGee.
