The Dusky MacMorgan series, written by Randy Wayne White as Randy Striker in the 1980s is bad enough that White states in the introductions of the new editions that he will no longer apologize for them.

Here’s an example:
“We can only assume that, barring some freak accident,
Fizer was indeed onto FEAT’s assassin, found him,
and was eliminated by him.”
“Murdered, you mean, dammit!” I found myself cracking
the table with my fist.

Clunky writing, cardboard cut-out characters, gear porn (weapons, watches, etc.) is all here. But there’s also a bit of what White has always done best: descriptions of Florida nature and environment, especially the waterways. This series was never about literature – well maybe Playboy’s version of literature – so for its intent Assassin’s Shadow is not a bad book for something quick and adventurous with a Florida angle.

White may be more of a salesman than a writer now, with his restaurants and hot sauces, but he’s always been a reliable creator of Florida thrillers. ( )
