Marlow: Banana Wind

Key West Mysteries #2

by Bill Craig

In bestselling author Bill Craig’s second entry in his Marlow series, a woman is washed up on the beach, battered and beaten, clutching a small leather sack and no memory of who she was. But Jorge Leone recognized what was in the sack and knew it meant trouble was blowing into Key West. He hired Marlow to find out who the girl was and where she had come from. As Marlow works the case, he finds himself being blown about in a Banana Wind as a storm of violence descends on Key West!

Marlow (not Phillip) is an ex NY cop that got railroaded out of town by some crooked cops. He is now a PI down in Key West, working for a lawyer friend of the family. Banana Wind refers to a wind that is not hurricane force, but still strong enough to blow bananas off of trees. This particular wind destroyed a Cuban boat that was carrying a Cuban agent that had a pouch of uncut diamonds that was being delivered to the US to be used to buy weapons for an American terrorist group. The agent and the diamonds are washed up on shore and the old beach bum that finds them hires Marlow to find out who the agent is and who the rightful owner of the diamond is. A lot of bad guys end up dead in this one.
