Conch Salad
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Florida Keys, a chain of islands extending from mainland Florida over a hundred miles into the Gulf of Mexico, is not only a tourist magnet, but is the setting for Conch Salad.
Big Pine Key, closer to Cuba than Miami, is a tropical paradise of an island. On it lurks many endangered species, including the locals being squeezed out by tourists, noise, and now a corpse stuffed into a lobster trap.
Two hippies, a drug-runner, a shark-wrestling Cuban, a crew of degenerates, and a gang of bored teens round out the cast of a story so unbelievable it could only happen in Florida. Somewhere in the middle, endangered species are decimated, paranoia runs rampant, and the rich get richer in this fast-paced story of Keys corruption, lunatics, and general nonsense.
Conch Salad glorifies old men in Speedos, legitimizes drug use, makes rainbow flip-flops fashionable, and keeps its readers laughing out loud page after page.
About the Author
Born in Pennsylvania, Tracy McDonald fled the cold, gray north as soon as she realized the Keys existed. Armed with a degree in English and more sarcasm than you can shake a palm frond at, she and her husband live and work in the Florida Keys and are happy to be raising their son in an environment where shoes are frowned upon and skin cancer is a badge of honor.
