Boca baby!
Sit back, read and be entertained by this captivating book by a new, talented author coming from the streets of South Philadelphia but with intimate knowledge of the characters populating South Florida’s highways, cigar bars, restaurants and marinas. Michael Caudo’s handling of a true-life art heist and the wise guys that swarm like sharks to chum is a witty, clever and over all fun read. This is the ultimate beach book with enough violence, humor, romance and intrigue to keep you turning the page chapter after chapter. The story takes place in Philadelphia and Florida with the author assiduously researching each local’s idiosyncrasies bringing a chilling degree of realism to the novel. So much so that you are led to wonder whether the story is truly fictional. Fans of writers such as Carl Hiaasen, Raymond Chandler and Walter Mosley will absolutely love this hardboiled tale of theft, deception, murder and love. One can’t help envisioning your favorite actors/actresses playing the characters in the inevitable movie of this fine crime novel as the story lends itself to that kind of visualization. Can’t recommend this novel more strongly.

Excellent
I enthusiastically recommend this book. Its an easy read, a suspenseful thriller filled with deception, betrayal and murder effortlessly moving between South Florida and South Philly. What makes this novel remarkable is "the space between" is filled with thoughtful and precisely placed references to the masters of literature, music and art. It's every book lover's dream to find their favorite classics filing those spaces. " Hidden in plain sight" is the complex,sometimes heart wrenching father\son dynamic that the author weaves into every male character.
I am most fortunate to know this most talented author and I recognized the wordsmith sitting on a bar stool in our beloved Paradiso. "Nick frequently found himself engrossed in these internal mysteries, whether musical, literary or in real life. He could never rest until he made the connections . As a result, he could appear aloof at times,though his mind was probably in overdrive when he seemed most disconnected."
Thank you Michael Caudo for making those connections and giving us your "work of art". Looking forward to your next Nick Di Nobile novel.

Now hurry up and write part 2!
Great read from a new author who definitely knows what he’s writing about. It was easy to pick up and hard to put down. Terrific diversion from the daily grind that held my attention and made me feel like I knew the characters. Very excited to continue on with this series. This was a worthwhile purchase and one I recommend highly.

I DIDN’T WANT IT TO END …
I read this book in less than two days. My only criticism is I didn’t want it to end. It captured my imagination in the first few pages and I was absolutely hooked. Bouncing effortlessly from Philadelphia to Florida, the book is every much the page turner that the books by Patterson and Grisham are, but this book has an authenticity about it that can fool you into believing your reading a true story involving real people, that’s how good this book is written and how well the characters are developed. This book has everything a novel is supposed to have, but typically doesn’t, and certainly not from a first time author. But Michael Caudo hit this one way out of the park and I cannot wait to read the next installments to see where this story goes.
