Author: JC Bruce
Bio:
Hi. I’m J.C. Bruce and I’m a journalist and author of a series of books recounting the adventures of Alexander Strange, the world’s only full-time weird-news columnist. The books in The Strange Files series are THE STRANGE FILES; FLORIDA MAN; GET STRANGE; STRANGE CURRENTS; MISTER MANNERS; and STRANGE TIMING.
Of FLORIDA MAN, Kirkus Reviews says: “Bruce’s prose is consistently crisp and controlled, and the tension between the various characters is genuinely entertaining throughout. A charming and suspenseful page-turner punctuated by dashes of the surreal.”
Book:
Weird news reporter Alexander Strange is munching grouper balls and sipping a Cuba Libre when a naked body floats up near his fishing trawler in Goodland, Florida. The face of the corpse has been devoured by sea creatures, but Alexander knows who she is, and from the ligature marks on her neck, it appears she’s been strangled. Or hanged. And now the cops think Alexander may be responsible. He needs help, and it arrives in the form of a retired urinal-mat-salesman-turned detective who swears he owes his life to a mysterious guardian angel.
