Frenzy (2014)
“That’s what native Floridians called the swarms of people who headed to Florida to escape winter up north. They were from everywhere. New York, Minnesota, Canada . . . all frigid places on the continent. And more than a few snowbirds were European.
Sarasota, because of its charms and beautiful white beach, became more crowded every year. Dwayne Aikin didn’t hate the snowbirds, like some Floridians. On the other hand, he didn’t like them.
Except for the women. So many women. Lounging on the beach, picking at salads in restaurants, laughing in bars and other night spots. The women, talking, shopping. Tempting, many of them.
There was a higher class of woman at Pike’s, on the beach, just off Highway 41, the Tamiami Trail. Pike’s had a driftwood look about it, as if it had weathered the worst of the hurricanes. It was also an art gallery, sometimes showing work by some of Sarasota’s more well known artists, who regarded Sarasota as an art mecca. The paintings here weren’t priced, but deal...s were made, and for considerable amounts of money.MoreLess
