Miami Interlude

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.
