Ralph Sistrunk, The Jury's Back
Class of '58
Angel Valley is no place for angels. The town leader is a sociopath with a taste for rape and scripture. The town's sheriff has been shot by the deputy and the married minister has fallen in love with the school marm. The only person desperate to get to Angel Valley is the town playboy and drunk; brutally beaten and left for dead in the desert. On Camel's trek home, he truly enters hell with a group of desperate Indians, bitter Calvary and vicious renegades.
Nath Doughtie, Class of '55, has just published a good novel set in Gainesville, Florida, home of the champion Gators of the University of Florida. Doughtie, a retired judge from Gainesville, wrote about a judge and lawyers and love and tribulation in Gainesville (well, it includes other places in Florida). Anyone familiar with northeast Florida will enjoy it. Shucks, even if you don't have any experience with Alachua County, you'll find it a good read. At $14.31 a copy from Amazon.com, this 306 page novel published by Trafford Publishing on May 14, 2007 is a virtual steal! Click the title, All Rise

Blue Texas
A serial killer is on the loose in La La Land, but you may die laughing before the next victim is found.
Chauncey McFadden, a portly and low-rent PI, may be in over his head when he is hired to find a murderer who kills female victims in a most unusual way. The trail of this serial killer leads through a cast of zany and memorable characters that includes a quirky police lieutenant, a crime syndicate boss, a secret government intelligence agency, and an international consortium of terrorists. The body count climbs as Chauncey battles danger and intrigue to bring the killer to justice.
Bad Vibrations is an unforgettable romp through the seamy noir underbelly of Southern California, and shows how much fun reading can be in the hands of an irreverent craftsman. It is already the winner of 5 literary awards:
The Independent Publishers IPPY Award—Silver Medal for Best Regional Fiction 2009
The Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Award for Best Published Mystery 2008
The Books and Authors Best Mystery Book of the Year Award 2008
The Rockway Press Best Novel Prize in their International Writing Competition 2006
The Florida Writers Association Lighthouse Book Award in their mystery-suspense category 2008

G. W. Reynolds, III. Jetty Man series. See YouTube preview of Jetty Man
What books about Northeast Florida do you like? Perhaps the book only uses part of the area as a setting.
John Grisham, The Brethren uses Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach.
Larry Baker, The Flamingo Rising purports to take place on the shore between Ponte Vedra and St. Augustine. The characters go often to St. Augustine and Jacksonville.
Amelia Clinch, Murder in Fernandina was written by a writers' group in Fernandina. Not bad and has a lot of local history included.
David Tuttle, The Leopard of Fenandina (A Lt. Wilson Mystery) uses information from the earlier book (Tuttle was one of the writers' group). It's a much better read.
