![]() The Florida she paints here is not the one promoted by any chamber of commerce. ![]() She knows all about the everyday things that defy simple explanations-lovers who suddenly turn cold, turtles who mistake streetlights for the moon. Because Hoffman's strength is that she deals in dreams. ![]() The fact that the ultimate resolution of these mysteries is only partly plausible doesn't really matter in the end. With the assistance of Julian Cash, a reclusive Verity policeman, Lucy sets out to find out who committed the murder and what has become of the missing children. ![]() This particular May, a woman in Lucy's condo complex is murdered, her baby is missing, and Lucy's own son, Keith, has vanished as well. She has recently moved to Verity, and what she doesn't know yet is that in May, when the turtles come out and crawl across the roads, anything can happen. Verity, Florida, once known for live alligators, is now better known for alligator salads (a mix of spinach, peppers, avocado and chopped eggs, tinted green), as well as for having more divorced women from New York than any other town in the state of Florida. ![]() Random House: NY 1993 First edition, first printing, mint, new/unread, flawless dustjacket, signed by author.Ī mix of murder and magic in the Florida sunshine as only Hoffman (Seventh Heaven, 1990, etc.) could conjure it.
