CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 22, 2010 /Standard Newswire/ -- Twenty-first century Travis McGee? Cincinnati native Jonathan Herbert has a writing style described as a unique approach to the Sunshine State and is growing in popularity in the United States with the release of his first novel - Banyan Street.

Fate prompts Butch Sands to leave college and move to a quaint Southwest Florida island in search of justice for the death of his journalist father. Momentum builds with each chapter as Butch searches for the one responsible. In the midst of everything, a host of compelling characters, surrounded by an island setting with a life of its own, prepare for an intense hurricane. Herbert finds a way to reel you in to a disconnected paradise where wealth trumps justice, most of the time.

The author moved to the Gulf Coast town of Englewood, Florida at a young age and embraced the tropical lifestyle. Banyan Street is loosely based on real places he knows well in the surrounding areas of Southwest Florida. The second Butch Sands novel is due out in the fall of 2011. Popularity for this series is sure to follow.
