[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]

Put-in-Bay Mystery/Adventure Novels Rekindle Fond Island Memories

When you think of Put-in-Bay mysteries, award-winning island author Bob Adamov quickly comes to mind. He fell in love with our island paradise when, as an 18-year-old, he visited the island for the first time. He became addicted to Put-in-Bay over the years. So, it was natural for him to base his 19 novels here.

Emerson Moore, the unyielding investigative reporter at the heart of the series, makes his home on East Point, sharing a residence with his Aunt Anne. His journey weaves through treacherous escapades and tangled affairs of the heart, set against a tapestry of scenic isles stretching from the Bass Islands to the southernmost point of Key West, and onward to the vibrant streets of Cuba, the serene shores of Chincoteague Island, and the tranquil sands of Holden Beach Island.

The narrative doesn’t stop there; it sweeps across the globe to the lavish French Riviera, the bustling markets of Morocco, the jazz-filled corners of New Orleans, the ancient allure of Bodrum in Turkey, the sun-kissed beaches of Rhodes, the historic grandeur of London, the rhythmic pulse of Jamaica, the timeless wonders of Egypt, and the glittering lights of Las Vegas.

Real-Life “Characters” Add Some Put-in-Bay Flair To The Fiction

Adamov’s novels feature a colorful cast of rowdy characters and settings that may feel quite familiar. He has a knack for weaving real-life figures into his tales, alongside well-known local spots like the Round House Bar, Pasquale’s, the Perry Monument, the Beer Barrel, The Keys, Boardwalk, the Shiphouse and Miller Ferry.

You’ll see real-life characters like Mike “Mad Dog” Adams, Bob Gatewood, Ray Fogg, Paul Jeris, Bryan Kasper, Jeff and Kendra Koehler, Brad Ohlemacher, and Billy and Julene Market. This blend of reality and fiction is a signature element of his storytelling, bringing a unique authenticity to his fictional world.

His first novel, Rainbow’s End, features Bryan Kasper’s famous Shiphouse as the villain’s lair. Two editions are available, including a Shiphouse Vodka collector’s edition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
