AMERICAN TROPIC

Sanchez's new novel drips with the atmosphere of Key West. "Bizango" an environmental serial killer with a voodoo name and a black rubber skeleton suit, is murdering South Florida's destroyers of nature. Will "Truth Dog" Noah, the disbarred environmental lawyer and pirate radio host, and his motley group of friends and relations be able to stop the monster? Should they? Given the setting, Sanchez is entitled to his punchy Hemingway-esque dialogue. Michael Kramer's tough-guy delivery suits the testosterone-leavened story. He manages an extraordinary array of accents and attitudes without distracting the listener from the plot, and his narration is always easy to follow.
