Matt Royal Mysteries Synopses: In the third installment of Griffin’s mystery series, entitled Blood Island, Matthew Royal may be a former lawyer and a current fun-loving beach bum, but that doesn’t mean things can’t get serious for him. His ex-wife wants help in finding her stepdaughter, and since she was last seen in Matt’s hometown (Longboat Key), Matt agrees to help out. However, this case turns into something much bigger than your average runaway girl. The search leads Matt and buddies Jock Algren and Logan Hamilton to Blood Island – an island that is home to a religious cult.
The fourth book in Terry Griffin’s Matt Royal series is Wyatt’s Revenge. One of Matt’s best friends, Laurence Wyatt, is murdered and Royal is now determined to get his revenge. However, the tables are turned when what Matt finds at the end of the rope is a group of remorseless, trained killers. Matt once again enlists the help of Jock Algren and Logan Hamilton on a wild ride that goes all the way from Longboat Key, Florida to Frankfury, Germany.
