About Blood Island

Best-Selling and Award-Winning Author

What’s happening on this island will make your blood run cold

Matt Royal never has to look far for excitement. Excitement—and sometimes trouble—has a way of finding him first. But for this fun-loving lawyer turned beach bum, things are about to get serious. Dead serious.

When his ex-wife asks for help in tracking down her stepdaughter, last seen in Matt's hometown of Longboat Key, Matt agrees to do a little searching. But what looks like the case of one missing girl turns out to be something much bigger—and much more dangerous.

Enlisting the aid of his buddies Jock Algren and Logan Hamilton, Matt launches a full-speed-ahead search that leads from Longboat Key to Key West to an ominous strip of land called Blood Island.

But this is no island paradise. Blood Island is home base to a cult of religious zealots. And they're making devastating plans that could change the world forever.

Bullets fly, and as the clock ticks down, it will be up to Matt to make sure that what happens on Blood Island stays on Blood Island.

Praise

Blood Island is Florida Deco fiction at its best and stakes out a solid chunk of literary beachfront for author H. Terrell Griffin. The dialogue, sparse and mature, is Hemingway-esque. His insights into the quirky beast that is Florida will delight John D. MacDonald fans. Mr. Griffin's knowledge of law, and his sense of story, rival Grisham's best. Welcome to the world of Matt Royal, the fun-loving beach bum lawyer who is as tough and smart as any character in modern American fiction.” ―Randy Wayne White, New York Times best-selling author

Blood Island is full of Florida flavor and spiced with tension and humor.” ―James O. Born, New York Times best-selling author

“Griffin's breezy first-person narration brings the likable Matt, with his killer reflexes and wry sense of humor, vividly to life.” ―Publishers Weekly

Blood Island is a thoroughly entertaining, old-school Florida mystery novel that fans of the region and the genre will love.” ―Booklist

“Griffin seems to have settled into a niche unoccupied by other writers. General mystery fans and Travis McGee addicts alike should enjoy this book.” ―Foreword Reviews
