Eco-terrorist on the loose in Key West with lots of gruesome murders amidst the heat, humidity, and alcohol. We have a disbarred drunken lawyer running a pirate radio station who is in the midst of a divorce as well as a lesbian Cuban detective whose daughter is ill with leukemia and who herself has had cancer. These two team up indirectly to find the eco-terrorist and the ending was quite a surprise. Should have seen it coming. Not the page turning suspense here but very heavy literary feel to this book. Definitely going to have read more by Sanchez. If you love Key West you will love this book.

I'm not sure if there are trigger warnings for themes about irreversible ecological destruction, reckless disregard for plant and animal life and exploitative and callous treatment of the planet, but if so, I'm ringing the bell here. I skimmed a good chunk of this book because it was just hard to read about all that. I was on Team Bizango. When it comes to the themes above, vigilante is the type of justice I prefer.
Side note: I'd seen the cover for this book around. Then I read something about the concreted buoy that marks the southernmost point in the continental US which is located in Key West, FL which included photos of this tourist attraction. Then I understood the cover and got the book. Weird how that works.
