Matanzas Bay

Quint Mitchell Mystery Series – Book 1

“Matanzas Bay is as intricate and full of surprises as an archaeological dig into old Florida treasures and new Florida’s darkest secrets. Parker Francis’s private detective has hard edges, an anguished past, and just the right amount of wise-cracking good humor to keep readers smiling. Matanzas Bay is a page-turner to the end.”
~ Michael Wiley, author of A Bad Night’s Sleep and Head Case

When PI Quint Mitchell volunteered to help with an archaeological survey in the nation’s oldest city, he didn’t count on digging up a murder victim—St. Augustine’s Vice Mayor. Mitchell discovers links to ancient sins, comes face to face with his own past, and unleashes powerful forces that will do anything to keep their secrets—even if it means taking his life.

“Matanzas Bay is a Chinatown-like hall of mirrors of murder, conspiracy, and land development in St. Augustine.”
~ David Poyer, Bestselling author
