The Mango Opera by Tom Corcoran
Although he prefers magazine work, freelance photographer Alex Rutledge won't turn down an occasional crime scene shoot for the City of Key West Police Department. But when a string of murders takes his viewfinder into strangely familiar territory, Alex's mellow island lifestyle shatters. One after another, someone is killing women who have intimately crossed Alex Rutledge's path. Maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe it's a conspiracy. Or maybe he's crazy. But the connection marks Alex as the prime suspect in a case so hot it's drawn in the county sheriff, the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. In a desperate race to save his name and his life, Alex dives into a one-man search for the dark, sweltering truth beneath a case that's pounding toward meltdown, in The Mango Opera by Tom Corcoran.
Tom Corcoran is a photographer and former journalist and the author of the Alex Rutledge novels set primarily in Key West. He has created Key West in Black and White, a book of retrospective Key West images; and Key West Point of View, a collection in DVD format of over 400 recent color photographs of the island. Acoustic guitar and steel pan background music was created for the 40-minute DVD by musicians John Frinzi and John Patti. A resident of the Florida Keys for fifteen of his thirty-five years in Florida, Corcoran was an early collaborator with Jimmy Buffett, providing photos for seven of his album and CD packages and lyrics for the songs Fins and Cuban Crime of Passion. Corcoran's photographs and articles have appeared in Rolling Stone, Southern Boating, Cruising World, Car & Driver, Esquire, Look and Outside. In addition to continuing the Alex Rutledge Series, Tom Corcoran has co-written song lyrics for several recent John Frinzi CD releases.
