{"product_id":"2940013025486","title":"Salt Run","description":"A romp through the historic streets of Saint Augustine, Florida. This fast-paced book never stops entertaining. A chaotic cast of characters and situations combine with both the intellectual and seedy side of the nation's oldest city make this novel a great beach read. Pack this right along with your sunscreen as Gallen keeps handing you plot lines that keep you guessing and laughing at the same time. Screwball characters, fast-paced dialogue and memorable absurdities make this dark comedy of errors a great read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuke Fisher surfs by morning and attends classes at Flagler College by day. He passes out at the ghastly sight of what he finds on the beach one morning, and quickly becomes the prime suspect in a crime that rocks the college and the small town community of St. Augustine, Florida.\u003cbr\u003eWhen former Maine state judge Rick Derlax's \"do the crime, do the time\" philosophy catches up with him, he escapes to the small coastal town to begin a new career as a professor. \"The Judge\" has a passion for teaching justice at all costs, but instead is handed his own sentence in a \"crime against humanity.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalvador Deaz, a released convict who is frustrated by his small-time drug trafficking, finds himself dealing with a madcap cast of characters that only the backdrop of northern Florida culture can provide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGallen keeps handing you plot lines that keep you guessing and laughing at the same time.

Another terrifically ridiculous Florida novel from a state full of the absurd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very accurate depiction of the environs of St. Augustine with a witty store woven thruough the area. A must read for any St. Augustine resident, visitor or fan!
