The Mick Stranahan books follow a retired Florida investigator who lives on a houseboat and keeps getting pulled back into trouble. Skin Tight (1989) is the primary Stranahan novel, featuring him as the main character. He also appears in Skinny Dip (2004), which connects him to the Skink series.

Stranahan is a quieter presence than Skink but shares the same frustration with Florida’s parade of criminals and fraudsters. His preference for a simple life on the water is constantly disrupted by the corrupt world around him.
