The Mutiny Girl by Karen S. Gordon (Kindle eBook)
Amazon £0
A down on his luck lawyer facing financial ruin is presented with an illegal get rich scheme.
Working his way through law school as a cop during the Miami Vice era of lawlessness on the streets of Miami, Vance Courage kept his nose clean. But now he must reckon old ties to the most notorious drug cartel in U.S. history.
Today, when we imagine Miami, we think of a cosmopolitan city brimming with star-studded nightclubs, warm beaches, swanky hotels and international banking. But Miami wasn’t built on sand—it was built on white powder. Back in the 1970s and 80s from Tallahassee to Key West, the Cuban and Colombian cocaine cartels infiltrated every lever of power. Miami’s past is more terrifying and less known than the days when crime boss Al Capone used violence and intimidation to control the city of Chicago.
The Hotel Mutiny was the underground nerve center where an international entanglement of drug lords, DEA agents, Marielitos, FBI informants, arms dealers, CIA operatives, doctors, assassins, lawyers and anyone with a membership card rubbed shoulders. The kingpins, their lieutenants, wannabes just off the boat and those who hunted them indulged in female companionship, expensive champagne, cigars, exotic cars—and of course, blow.
Al Pacino stayed at the hotel and sat at a small table near the dance floor located on the Upper Deck where he studied for his upcoming role in Scarface. If you want to lift the hood and see what’s underneath the glitz and glamor of the Magic City, read THE MUTINY GIRL where you’ll meet Vance Courage and Lauren Gold. Inspired by a true story, they’ll teach you an American history lesson you'll never forget. Buckle up.
