MacDonald, and Randy Wayne White, Florida's creative coast has spawned another author. In \"The Popping Cork Murder,\" (ISBN 1484847989), seventh-generation Floridian Mitch Grant confronts the familiar Florida fiction format and spins it in new directions to deliver a story uniquely written from the perspective of retirees living in the quaint fishing village of Saint James City.The story centers on a retired couple on the west coast of Florida, whose quiet lives are turned upside down when their dear friend is murdered while visiting. Determined to find the killer, the couple takes matters into their own hands and embarks on an epic investigation that carries them along the coast and through the annals of local history.As the story unfolds, the senior citizens-turned-sleuths try to figure out whether their friend was murdered to protect the location of buried pirate treasure, to safeguard a founding family's stash of gold or to cover up a century-old war crime. Against this backdrop of murder, mystery and mayhem, Grant also delivers three terrific love stories: - the love of fishing and boating in Florida, the love for life in a small Florida town and the love between a retired couple. \"My new book combines classic Florida mystery fiction with my passion for Florida life in a way that's sure to appeal to visitors to Southwest Florida, fishermean, boaters, retirees and mystery fans of all ages,\" Grant says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMitch Grant brings to \"The Popping Cork Murder\" a passion for the Sunshine Sate that only a seventh-generation Floridian could bring.
