Deep Air

"Fraudulists and fabulists, scammers, lost gems, beer, an inflatable sex doll, cheap guns, a bull alligator and nitrogen narcosis contribute to this simple tale set in the briny aftermath of life in the Florida Keys and the froamy backwaters of Bone Island...."

-Everett Shroud, author of The Snorkel Diaries

"Reef Perkins jerks Key West's zipper down in this almost true tale of foolishness, greed and tropical intrigue then side slips and delivers a full-pull literary wedgie that lifts the startled reader to a state of mild confusion. He's a horse with no reins."

-Pipkin Alvarez, The Pipkin Zipper and Fly Co.

"Only a few men have danced with deep air and survived. Perkins isn't one of them."

-L. Bugle, Navy diver, author of Follow Your Bubbles for a Longer Life.
