description: Based on the same sort of detailed on-scene high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels Back to Blood is another brilliant spot-on scrupulous and often hilarious reckoning with our times.As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay - with officer Nestor Camacho on board - Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city he introduces the Cuban mayor the black police chief a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day loin lock by night - until lately the love of Nestor's life; a refined and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict crack dealers in the 'hoods de-skilled conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair spectators at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night's orgy yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an Active Adult condo and a nest of shady Russians.
