Talk Murder To Me: A Tricky Dick Mystery

Tricky Dick', the protagonist of "Talk Murder to Me" had a problem. That problem wasn't finding someone to blame the murder on. It was finding someone - anyone - who wasn't confessing to being the murderer. The last thing Dick expected to see after spending seven days on his sailboat in Key West communing with high tides, the full moon, a talking manatee and possibly a woman, was a dead body. Even more shocking to him was discovering that the chief of police had been replaced by his one-time boss - and frequent nemesis - from when Dick worked for the government. Wanting nothing to do with either him or the corpse, Dick tries to walk away, but his boss forces him back into action. His only clues are veins full of antifreeze and a belly full of fishing weights. What there is no shortage of, however, are suspects. Not because he is finding them, but because they are finding him. It seems everybody wanted the victim dead, but each story falls apart, leaving Dick more confused than ever. When the big reveal comes, it only raises more questions, including how many people are actually dead and just how safe Dick might be. "Talk Murder to Me" is the first in a series of murder mystery novels set in Key West Florida. As each novel unfolds, not only will Tricky Dick (known as Richard Lockhart to those who insist on formality) discover more and more of the hidden secrets of the island paradise he calls home, not to mention more bodies as well, he will also discover - along with the reader - just how interconnected everything is, including the past life he thought he left behind. Fans of any crime fiction set in southeast Florida, especially those of Travis McGee, will find a new anti-hero they can believe in.
