The Greenhaven Trilogy is a series of novels set in a genteel South Florida city called Greenhaven. Each of the three novels takes place in the present time and features the same group of local residents. However, while the regular characters obsess over golf, sex and small town local politics, they do so against a variety of historic backgrounds.
