 | The Mango Opera (1998) (The first book in the Alex Rutledge series) A novel by Tom Corcoran |
| "THE MANGO OPERA is a powerful debut novel full of juicy characters, crackling dialogue and thrill-a-minute action. Not since McGuane's 92 IN THE SHADE has Key West been rendered so vividly and with such spare poetry. This is a smart, exciting novel, one not-to-be-missed." James W Hall |
| "Key West is crazy, dangerous, hilarious, and exotic. Tom Corcoran's THE MANGO OPERA captures all of this with right-on characters and escalating suspense. A true mystery and a great read." Winston Groom |
| "The genius of imagination and the genius of realism don't often take up housekeeping in one writer's skull. But Tom Corcoran has combined a viciously creative plot with a perfectly rendered description of Key West as it really is, and the result is good to the bone. The only reason you'll put this book down is to dash off a note to Tom telling him to write another." P J O'Rourke |
| "Tom Corcoran knows the foul reaches of Key West and so do I. This is an evil book about an evil place. Don't read this book if you have a tendency to wonder where your daughter is on long rainy nights." Hunter S Thompson |
| "THE MANGO OPERA is a very engrossing novel. Corcoran deftly evokes the spirit and physicality of the place, the low tide jubilance and enlivening fetor of its pleasures and instinctive criminality, as if the sun and ocean had blasted all the flowers of evil into its very genes." Jim Harrison |
Part-time Key West crime-site photographer Alex Rutledge is awakened by his estranged girlfriend in the middle of the night and is even more startled when she announces her new roommate, to whom she bears a striking resemblance, has been murdered.
