Tales of the Caribbean: Bob Morris’s “Zack Chasteen” Novels

September 10, 2010 by Scene of the Crime

Bob Morris is the author of the Caribbean-themed mysteries featuring Zack Chasteen, former Miami Dolphins linebacker and ex-con (wrongly
convicted), who becomes an unwilling detective to save his own skin in
the series opener, Bahamarama. An “edgy debut novel,” is how Publishers Weekly described that book. Booklist was also impressed, noting that “Morris knows how to put some bounce in his writing.”

Since that debut, Morris has written four more Chasteen novels, his most recent being the 2010 Baja Florida, about which Booklist lauded its “mixture of humor and mystery.” His earlier Bermuda Schwartz was dubbed “a ripping good yarn,” by Booklist, while Jamaica Me Dead prompted a Publishers Weekly reviewer to observe that the “tropical backdrop and Zack’s wisecracking commentary make for another crackling whodunit for Morris.”
