"Bill Craig's Marlow Key West series is as entertaining as it is suspenseful with seasoned characters in and around Florida's southernmost point...a tropic archipelago." -Dick Wall, Editor.When a beloved Key West officer is found murdered on the shore-and the crime echoes the slaying of the investigator's girlfriend-ex‑NYPD detective Rick Marlow must dive back into the island's dark underbelly. Chasing an informant's clue leads him into a conspiracy of a stylish fixer, a militia with lethal ambitions, and El Cuchillo-the patient killer who makes death personal. Blood Hunt is a taut, cinematic thriller: maritime chases, bridge standoffs, and a hard‑bitten hero racing to stop a weaponized shipment before paradise becomes a battleground. Bill Craig taught himself to read at age four and began writing his own stories at age six. He published his first novel at age 40 and says it only took him 34 years to become an overnight success! He has been publishing steadily ever since that first book Valley of Death and now has 27 books in print or ebook. Bill is the proud father of four children ranging in age from 38 to almost 8. He has 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Mr. Craig has worked a wide variety of jobs over the years from private security and corrections work to being a grill cook and dishwasher. He has been a news reporter, done factory work and even a stint as a railroad clerk. He currently does customer service work to support his writing addiction. His ultimate goal in life is to break the record held by pulp author and creator of The Shadow, Walter B. Gibson, for writing the most works in a single year! Set in Key West, this new mystery series promises a can't-put-down story of murder, mayhem, and duplicity. Rick Marlow is a broken former NYPD cop who had been shot by his partner during the discovery of a dead body in an alley. Half-dead and barely recovered Marlow moves south to Key West, figuring the end of the road might mean a new beginning.
