Pristine white sands and palm trees, snowbirds and theme parks, mangroves and manatees, pirates and policemen, from the redneck Riviera to the southernmost point of the United States, Florida has inspired writers and criminals throughout its storied and unique history. When it comes to Florida, no crime is too unusual and no criminal too peculiar to be impossible―Florida is the one state where fiction has to catch up to the headlines, and the contributors to this new collection certainly did not hold back!
A portion of the proceeds from the anthology will go to support Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, a program that provides free books to children from birth to school age regardless of family income. A personal mission of Dolly Parton's, the Imagination Library fosters literacy, a love of reading, and is meant to inspire children to succeed. It is a mission that the leadership of Bouchercon 2018 and the contributors of the anthology share.
