Florida Straights

The second novel of the Hurricane Road series, Florida Straits, rejoins the Bryans, now with four grown children, in old Cuba and young Miami. As ship owners, they're personally involved as the United States enters the First World War. With the wars end comes the Volstead Act, prohibition and the Roaring Twenties. The Byran children grow have their own turbulent romances, marry and start families. Life is good, exiting but not always smooth and joyful. Florida Straits is a violent story of the smuggling of booze, drugs and immigrants. It's about blood, greed, sex and the crossing of dark water on fast boats. It's also about family conflict, unconditional love and unimaginable tragedy. It speaks of struggle and loss in a land where the ruthless violence of man is nothing compared to the malevolent power of nature, and only love can overcome.
