Miami, Florida 1926
Between the heady days of the Florida land boom and its inevitable bust, a short period existed where those coming late to the game still dreamed of getting rich. Miami is the Magic City where it is believed anyone can become a millionaire. Della's handsome young husband, Art, is one of those dreamers. His hopes hang on a fabulous party to which he and Della have been invited. All Miami-the glamorous, wealthy, famous, and notorious-will be drinking, dancing to the latest jazz tunes, and completely ignoring Prohibition. Miami is not only a magical place, but also the "leakiest" city in America. Bootleggers pour booze into Miami like the Everglades dumping water into the Gulf. For Art and Della, this isn't just a party. It's the last chance to save their future. A millionaire dangles a tantalizing deal, but at what price?
Reminiscent of Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby, Miami Interlude takes the reader on a search for truth, deliverance, and a murderer during one of Miami's most notorious periods. Join Della as she does her best to survive.
