Key West - Special Edition - Peter Wick

Inspired by real events. Trouble is brewing in Key West, in 1950. Stephen Trumbull was a 'hardboiled' reporter and columnist for the Miami Herald. He drank too much and had a mouth on him. All he cared about was reporting the truth. Reporting the truth can get you into trouble. Florida state representative Bernie Papy ran Monroe County. He ran the illegal gambling mecca of Key West, in particular, and he ran it more like a mafia boss than a representative. "Key West" is the chronicle of a classic battle of wits and wills, where the stakes are real, and the odds always favor the house. This Special Edition updates Wick's original 2013 novel with previously unpublished prequel short story, "The King of the Keys."
