Retired Boston cop Eddie Perlmutter returns in Steven Forman's Boca Daze. Since moving to Boca Raton, Florida, Eddie’s busted Russian counterfeiters, solved at least two murders, thwarted neo-Nazi harassment, and gained justice for a number of those who couldn’t do it for themselves. This “Boca Knight” knows no fear—except perhaps when he’s facing the intimate challenge of sex as a sexagenarian. But Eddie may have met his match when he tries to shut down a string of illegal pill mills and finds himself a financial scammer as big as Bernie Madoff.
Armed with his unfailing wit, his Boston-bred fighting skills, and his courage in the face of danger that would make any sensible retiree head for the comfort of his condo, Eddie’s walking on gimpy knees straight into the most dangerous game of his never-dull life.
“The incomparable Eddie Perlmutter returns for another wild and wicked thrill ride across Boca Raton and beyond. I love this guy—and this series.” —Douglas Preston, author of Impact, on Boca Mournings
“This novel is long on clever dialogue and character development. Mystery readers of all stripes will like what they find here.” —Booklist on Boca Mournings
“Boca Mournings is a riotous, ribald look into the wacky world of South Florida. Not since Hiaasen has anyone captured the pothole-marred, driving-impaired, and geriatric-dominated zaniness as well as the new master of the comic crime novel Steve Forman.” —Jon Land, bestselling author of The Seven Sins
“Mystery fans who like their operatives macho with an offbeatsense of humor will certainly enjoy this book and look forward to the next in the series.” —Library Journal on Boca Knights
About the Author
STEVEN M. FORMAN grew up in the Boston area. Boca Daze is his third comic mystery featuring Eddie Perlmutter. Forman and his wife live in Massachusetts when it’s warm, and Boca Raton, Florida, when it’s cold.
Originally from Boston Steve Forman has been wintering in Boca Raton since 1992. After 45 successful years in international business he wrote his first novel, Boca Knights, published in 2009 by Tom Doherty Associates. The sequel, Boca Mournings, was released in 2010, his first e-book, Eddie the Kid, was published November 22, 2011 and Boca Daze will be published in January 2012. Steve is a graduate of UMass, class of '63. He is married to Barbara Forman and is father of two children and five grandchildren.
I read a lot. Everything from Lee Child to John Updike, from James Patterson to James Joyce. It is easy to tell when an author is not only a great story teller, but is also having fun writing. Steve Forman tells a great story and has fun doing it. His books are filled with off the cuff remarks and tidbits that keep you reading, make you smile, and at times catch you off guard.
Eddie Perlmutter is the main character in the series and, as I said in the review of "Boca Mournings", is someone you can believe really exists. This is one of the better books I have read in a while, and my only regret is I read it too fast.

This was a pleasure to read and my favorite of the Boca Knight series. I had to set it aside repeatedly, just to make it last a little longer. Hopefully Mr Forman will get to work on another Boca book asap.

What a refreshing book. I am new to this authur, and I cannot wait for him to publish more. Very clever, and suprising twist that make my brain want to read more. It gives me the hope that there are actually Boca Knights in the world.
