The reader is transported directly into uncertain territory. This is not the vacation wonderland of travel posters; we are here for a behind-the-scenes look at the new Miami; smugglers' haven of the western hemisphere and murder capital of the United States.

He finds himself in a web of involvement which culminates in a "drug deal gone sour" with Jamaican and Colombian gangsters.
