description: Tropical Depression is the debut novel in a series featuring Billy Knight, an ex-LAPD officer trying to get away from his past while coping with runaway marlin, out-of-control tourists and other variegated elements in Key West, Florida. But when an old friend from the force drops in, Knight finds himself drawn back into a violent world he thought he had left behind. In Billy Knight, author Jeffry P. Lindsay has created one of the potentially lasting figures in modern detective fiction. Like Robert B. Parker's Spenser, Billy Knight has a long and sometimes controversial history as a police officer. And like Spenser, Knight can't turn down an old friend whose life is at stake. Tropical Depression and Billy Knight will leave a major impression on lovers of the classic detective novel.
