BONE DEEP
A Whacky, Weird Florida Mystery

In Florida, even the dead dont stay buried.

Danny "Gumbo" Malone thought he was signing up for a simple recovery job—three stolen fossils, a quiet collector in Gainesville, and a tidy $500-a-day payday. Easy math.

Until he walks into a suburban house thats secretly a private Ice Age museum… and discovers the missing pieces arent souvenirs.

Theyre black-market megafauna.

A near-complete mastodon skull.
A museum-quality dire wolf cranium.
Rare giant ground sloth vertebrae pulled from Florida riverbeds—illegal to own, priceless to collectors, and worth killing over in the right market.

The client cant call the police.
The broker might be compromised.
And the deeper Gumbo digs into Floridas underground fossil trade, the more he realizes this isnt a random theft—its a territorial war between rival supply chains moving millions in prehistoric contraband.

From the oak-canopied streets of Gainesville to the backroads of Ocala, from a Tampa parking garage briefing to a gravel-shoulder standoff with a lifted F-250 and a man who runs North Florida like its his personal preserve, Gumbo finds himself caught between two powerful operators who both think the other blinked first.

Hes just the guy hired to return stolen property.

They see him as a message.

Packed with:

Florida noir atmosphere Offbeat humor and dry, deadpan wit Black-market fossil trafficking River divers, brokers, and underground collectors Organized crime with a Southern drawl High-stakes territorial disputes A reluctant PI whod rather be fixing his boat

BONE DEEP is a sharp, stylish Florida mystery about greed, territory, and the strange economics of ancient bones in a modern world.

Because in Florida, the past isnt history.
