The Florida Keys Adventure series by Matthew Rief is a long-running action series set in the Florida Keys, with 26 books published from 2017 through 2025. Most titles follow the “[Situation] in the Keys” pattern — Hunted, Betrayed, Condemned, Defiance, Pursuit, Treasure — and the series has kept up a steady release pace across eight years, averaging several books per year at its peak.
The series started with Gold in the Keys in 2017 and has grown to include standalone-feeling entries like Dodging Bullets (2025) alongside the signature “in the Keys” titles. Reading from the beginning is worthwhile for anyone who wants to follow the recurring characters and ongoing storylines, though the action-heavy format means later books are still accessible to newcomers. Fugitive in the Keys is the most recent entry as of 2025.
