Roy Johnson, a wealthy but very hated businessman, is dubbed “the alligator man” after it is determined he is missing and suspected to have been eaten by an alligator when he was last seen walking on the side of the road near alligator infested waters. Later it is determined he was murdered and police have a logical suspect. Enter attorney Kevin Wylie who has just lost his job at a major law firm in Miami. Now he is in the process of setting up his own firm and this will be his first case. Taking place in Florida, Sheehan describes the state very well as the story plays out with a complicated plot with memorable characters in a novel that moves along to its final conclusion. What makes the tale more interesting is the relationship Wylie has with his father and how it evolves and changes throughout the novel. “The Alligator Man “ is a great page turner legal thriller.
