    About this ebook

    Key West, 1991.

    Don Roy Doyle is back in town. Tough and quick-witted, he's fresh out of prison, where he served three years for a diamond swindle. Now he's back to collect his share of the proceeds, but the money has vanished.

    A local family dynasty which has controlled the island's politics for generations, a cop with a grudge, the FBI, and the Russian mob all have a stake in the action. They're convinced Cuba is on the verge of "opening up", and they all want Doyle gone.

    In this tightly-knit town, who can be trusted? And how long can Doyle stay alive?

    Setup On Front Street is the first in Mike Dennis' Key West Nocturnes series, books which take you inside the world of Key West noir, a world tucked way back in the shadows, where the tourists never go.

    • 5/5
      Great storyline that could easily be placed in any era however, the author did a great job and his research was excellent to pinpoint the tensions and societal changes of this very climatic time period. A great read for all!
    • 5/5
      A friend who knows I like noir fiction told me about this book, so I bought it on her recommendation. It's a totally together crime novel about a guy who returns to his hometown of Key West after serving time in prison. When he gets there, he finds things are very different from when he left, and he soon finds himself framed for murder. The Key West of this novel wasn't at all what I'd expected...no sun, no margaritas...just a very dark story in a very believable setting. This is a great book and I'm looking for more from Mike Dennis.
    • 4/5
      Don Roy Doyle is fresh out of prision and back home when his life takes a turn that could land him right back wher he came from. Can this con man really change his ways? Corrupt politicians, suspense, murder, setups this book has it all. This is a great story and a very quick read.
    • 5/5
      Mike Dennis sets this dark story in Key West, a very unlikely setting for a noir novel. However, the combination of a strong sense of place and breathing characters facing tough odds makes for a great book.
    • 4/5
      A fun and breezy crime novel set in Key West. Suspenseful and gritty at times with the relief of quirky island characters. A light entertaining read with just the right amount mystery to keep it interesting.
