Description: These sixteen stories set in Miami cover a diverse demographic, from long-term Cuban émigrés to Haitian boat people and psychopathic rednecks. In 'Ride along', a college professor with an interest in crime writing goes slumming with a thug called Jumpy - with unexpected results. In 'Boozanne, lemme be' a 4'10" protagonist lives undetected under a house until he connects with Boozanne and dives still further into ruin.
