First sentence: Bobby ‘Slick’ Dupree struggled laboriously with the wheelbarrow in the noonday sun. Weighing just over three-hundred pounds, spread loosely over a six-foot-three-inch frame, the huge black laborer’s work-clothes, purple blue-jeans, cut-off at the knees, and a green silk undershirt, were soaked in sweat and clung to his body like cellophane, as he zigzagged his way towards a footing trench with a wheelbarrow full of cement-mix. Another laborer smiled, as Dupree staggered over and, with one mighty lunge, deposited the mortar into a half-filled trench. The other laborer wiped the sweat from his face, with the inside of his filthy teeshirt and spat on the ground. "Day-yum Slick, slow down, makin’ me looks bad, man."
Description: The author of Miami Rock sets a blistering fast pace and this mystery/thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat, from the first page until the last, as you wonder what next calamity may befall one of the denizens of this sub-tropical area of the country, which many refer to as a tropical paradise, with its beautiful climate, sandy beaches and famed tourist attractions. Its Latin beat provides the backdrop for another side of this city however, and one also well-know to the public, for paradise can quickly become a purgatory where crime is rampant, with drugs on every street-corner in many neighborhoods. The main characters, a rough-hewn group of construction workers on a job-site in Ft. Lauderdale, sojourn into Miami for a night out and encounter much more than they had bargained for, as rogue cops, drug dealers and a briefcase full of money all collide in a thriller you won't be able to put down
