[T]his is an engrossing engaging novel that should cause you to look forward to Mr. Wilber's next work of fiction."- Spitball: The Literary Baseball Magazine ; "(Rick) Wilber has the kind of voice that makes the writing transparent, in that the reader connects directly with characters and emotions. His vibrant sense of wonderful locales is that much gravy."-Tim Dorsey, author of Nuclear Jellyfish ; "Rick Wilber is the sort of writer lots of us like to turn to at the end of a long day: relaxed, inventive, knowledgeable, good-humored, and honest right down to the core. This man tells you the truth, a quality that may be unsettling sometimes, but is never less than absolutely refreshing. Wilber knows how to do justice to the nuances of a complex story, and he deserves a huge readership."-Peter Straub, author of Lost Boy, Lost Girl ; "Set in hometown St. Petersburg and the Cayman Islands, Rick Wilber's Rum Point is a taut thriller/mystery in which a brave young woman cop and her baseball manager father battle to stop a violent pair of CIA types from building a drug-smuggling empire.
