"Pancho Took the Fish" is a powerful, unpredictable story of romance, mystery, and the life-or-death struggle between good and evil in the Florida Keys. It is an epic tale that evokes most every emotion.
The idyllic life of a lobster boat captain is rocked by the brutal murder of his father-figure, an unlucky witness to a massive cocaine deal gone-wrong. Still at large, the desperate killer is determined to escape the country unnoticed, putting at-risk not only the young captain and the love of his life, but also a mysterious homeless girl with disabling conditions, the only living witness to the crime.
The author Rusty Jaquays is a retired commercial fisherman from Key West. A lifelong writer of songs and stories, he possesses a sly wit and a charming writing style. Using words of color and light, he brings to life strong characters, and dramatic events. His beautifully crafted storytelling is reminiscent of the enduring Hemmingway and Kipling classics. Pancho Took the Fish is an enthralling sequel to his first book Chip Chip; a reader's favorite that tells the true story of the Mariel boatlift, "... a page turner"
