reading?
Sure. Ace Atkins' CROSSROAD BLUES [Miss & La]. Any
fiction by Randy Wayne White except NORTH OF HAVANA and THE
MANGROVE COAST [Fla]. Daniel Woodrell's UNDER THE BRIGHT
LIGHTS, MUSCLE FOR THE WING and THE ONES YOU DO [three
TERRIFIC novels set in Louisiana -- shd be read in order].
Almost anything by James W. Hall, esp GONE WILD and BONES OF
CORAL [Fla]. Any of the DEAL novels by Les Standiford [Fla].
There is also a book I read a few years back, THE HATED ONE,
set in the FL panhandle. I can't recall the author's name at
the moment, and it's long out of print, anyway. Worth picking
up if you see it, though.
This ought to get you started, anyway. PB
