TREASURE COAST is the wild new thriller from Tom Kakonis, the acclaimed author of CRISS CROSS and MICHIGAN ROLL.

A compulsive gambler goes to his sister's funeral on Florida's Treasure Coast and gets saddled with her loser-son, who is deep in debt to a vicious loan shark who sends a pair of sociopathic thugs to collect on the loan. But things go horribly awry...and soon the gambler finds himself in the center of an outrageous kidnapping plot involving a conman selling mail-order tombstones, a psychic who channels the dead and the erotically super-charged wife of a wealthy businessman. As if that wasn't bad enough, a killer hurricane is looming...

It's "Get Shorty" meets "No Country for Old Men" on a sunny Florida coast teeming with conmen and killers, the vapid and the vain, and where violent death is just a heartbeat away.

"Kakonis is a sharp new gambler in the literary crap game -- he just takes the pot." The New York Times

"Aptly compared to Elmore Leonard, Kakonis builds exquisite tension...steamy with a high-rent, low-life atmosphere...and an unforgettable cast." Publishers Weekly

"Tom Kakonis is a master of the low-life novel. Nobody does it better." Ross Thomas

Re: Treasure Coast

I usually find interviews to be on the boring side, but this
interview was so insightful, and made me stop and think a
bit. I also enjoyed it, and found it refreshing!! Although
I'm not familiar with Mr. Kakonis' work, I am looking
forward to reading not only his latest book, but his other
books as well. They all sound like something you can get
your teeth into, and will leave you satisfied when you get
to the last page. These are "old school" writings, if you
forgive me for saying so, and you don't find many books such
as these. They are the types that are the most enjoyable!!
Congratulations on your latest book!! I'm sure that you
have quite the following, and your book should do well!!
I'm sure that Brash Books did the right thing by
resurrecting your other books as well!!
