Praise for Florida Shakedown
”Kerry Costello’s latest novel takes his hero John Gibson into a fascinating part of the USA, one that Costello clearly knows well. Superstorm Sandy is woven into the story giving a fascinating insight into the impact of such natural disasters on communities and individuals. The level of detail, particularly the small points, that Costello incorporates into the story give the reader the pleasantly reassuring feeling that the author is passing on the benefit of his experience, not just to tell a story, but also to inform.

The story itself keeps you glued to the page. The plot twists keep on coming right up until the end, but Costello avoids the pitfall of over-complication. Characters are well drawn and believable but never boring or ordinary. The pace of the plot rarely falters.

As someone who’s spent time in Florida over the years I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I personally hope that ‘Gibson’ decides to stay on, or re-visit the scene of the crime in the not too distant future.

Although I was asked to review this book in my professional capacity as a journalist, the fact that I actually loaded ‘Florida Shakedown’ onto my phone in order to be able to continue to read it on my daily commute to our offices in Covent Garden, is evidence of just how much I wanted to keep ‘turning the page’ – the plot was that engaging.” John Sansom, Editor in chief Press-link Group London

When retired Chief Inspector Gibson travels to Florida to recover, following a family bereavement, all he wants is peace and quiet. But Jack, a wealthy businessman, and fellow resident of the holiday condominium, has other ideas. Via the internet Jack had discovered that Gibson was a British ex top cop, with an impressive record of finding missing people.

Jack persuades Gibson to look at the death of his business partner Rick Boswell, in bizarre circumstances. Gibson is hooked, and against his better judgement, agrees to help. Gibson soon discovers that Rick had some very odd connections - and dealings that suggest he had crossed some very dubious lines - and some very dangerous people.
