All the Little Birdies
by Dan Allison
Category: Fiction

Jake Murdock takes plenty of wild rides with customers in his taxi on Florida’s humid Gulf Coast. When Murdock is befriended by millionaire Robin Bayliss, they spend their days watching the bikinis and sunsets at Nora’s Beach Bar on Treasure Island. But when extortionists target Bayliss and the dead bodies start showing up, Murdock finds he’s in for the ride of his life—maybe his final ride. In a fractured landscape where loyalties mean nothing and nature itself has spun haywire, Jake Murdock and Robin Bayliss meet All the Little Birdies. Combining the madcap zaniness of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey with the lyrical poignancy of James W. Hall and Randy Wayne White, All the Little Birdies is evocative Florida noir.
