his territory, as does his hero, an ex-Marine-turned-sleuth who
discovers that, even in paradise, things aren’t always what they
seem.” Wallace Stroby, author of HEAVEN’S A LIE and SOME DIE NAMELESS.

“Len Buonfiglio enjoys the ex-pat life in sun-drenched St. Pierre running a bar and staying out of trouble. But trouble finds him and that’s a damn good thing for readers. Calypso Blue is the next best thing to booking a ticket for a Caribbean vacation.”
James R. Benn, author of the Billy Boyle WWII Mysteries.
“In Brian Silverman’s evocative mystery, CALYPSO BLUE, transplanted New Yorker Len Buonfiglio gets embroiled in some dangerous business involving friends, island ‘royalty,’ and murder.
