From Publishers Weekly

Shaw Chandler, a 30-something paramedic with the Miami fire department, returns to his home in the Keys to come to terms with the suspicious circumstances of his father's suicide. Meanwhile Trula Montoya, his high school sweetheart and once a Manhattan soap opera star, has also returned--to decide what to do with the rest of a life blighted by the onset of MS. Shaw and Trula eventually realize a link between local deaths--of the natural and unnatural varieties--and are drawn deeply into danger as they begin to unravel biological warfare, a cover-up and a double murder involving both of their fathers 20 years before. The dynamic and romantic duo are truly nice people (and well-drawn characters) who deserve a happy ending, but the rest of Hall's ( Tropical Freeze ) cast is an unsavory bunch: not only does Douglas Barnes, still reaping the financial rewards from his part in the evil business, kill with cruel pleasure, but his deranged, foul-mouthed son Dougie tries to win his respect by acting as his hatchet man. By the time the homicidal pair receives its just deserts--in a fast-paced life-and-death struggle in a garbage disposal factory--the body count is as high as the surf. Literary Guild alternate; author tour.

From Library Journal

For 20 years, Douglas Barnes has operated an incinerator for the city of Key West, recycling trash into electricity. Unconfirmed rumors around the island suggest that Barnes has been disposing of toxic wastes for the Navy, contributing to the high incidence of cancer and other diseases in the area. When Shaw Chandler returns to Key West seeking answers concerning his father's questionable death, his probing propels him headlong into intrigue, action, and murder orchestrated by the psychotic Barnes. Hall ( Under Cover of Daylight, LJ 9/1/87) takes this high adventure a step beyond the limits of the traditional action novel by introducing clean air issues, wildlife preservation, toxic waste disposal, environmental health, and other topics of current concern. A thoughtful, multifaceted novel that should not be missed.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Nobody does it like James W Hall!, Janv. 21 1999
Par Un client
This review is from: Bones of Coral (Mass Market Paperback)
James W Hall has a knack for creating quirky characters and sleazy bad guys. In this book, he has outdone himself with Dougie Barnes, a dimwitted, muscle-bound, rhyme-spouting, trash-talking thug with an appetite for murder and sex. If you think he's bad, wait until you meet his dad, Douglas, Sr.

In Bones of Coral, ambulance paramedic Shaw Chandler of Miami finds his long lost dad dead in an apparent suicide. Then he gets a frantic call from his Mom. The next thing you know, Shaw is headed to his hometown of Key West to learn the truth about his dad's death and some startling discoveries about his past. James W Hall is an excellent story teller and Bones of Coral is a knock down thriller that will stay with you long after you put it down.

FIVE STARS!!

Par Un client
This review is from: Bones of Coral (Mass Market Paperback)
Hall has the ability to bring you right into setting and engross the reader in the story. As in all of his books, he always has great villians and that is the fun part of the book.
