Sobre l'autor

Laurence Shames was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1951, and graduated summa cum laude from NYU, in 1972. He became a journalist, and was published in magazines such as Playboy, Outside, Saturday Review, and Vanity Fair. In 1982, he was named Ethics columnist of Esquire, and also made a contributing mostra'n més editor. In 1991, Shames co- wrote a national non-fiction best-seller on the Mafia called Boss of Bosses, with two FBI agents. This success afforded him the opportunity to write fiction full-time, and he has since written ten Key West comic thrillers. He won the CWA Last Laugh Dagger Award for the funniest crime novel of 1995 with Sunburn. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra'n menys

Tropical Swap (Key West, #10) de Laurence Shames

I don't think this author has written a bad book. This was the light funny read I needed. Husband and wife swap their Manhattan apartment for a house in Key West and from the moment they arrive in the tropics nothing works the way they thought it would. Crazy Floridians, shady Key Westers, the mafia, the FBI, and the one constant of this author's series Bert The Shirt. Really a very fun book.
