The Gold and Courage series was inspired by the author's real life experience working inside the Hotel Mutiny. During the late 70s when Miami was a literal war zone. The coroner rented refrigerated trucks from the fast food companies to store dead bodies.

​

The Mutiny doubled as the secret headquarters for the Cuban and Columbian drug cartels. FBI agents, CIA officers and local law enforcement mingled with gun runners, international assassins, Cuban expatriates and the world's most powerful drug kingpins. While Florida teetered on the brink as a failed state, it drove the incumbent president to launch the War on Drugs.

 

Vance Courage and Lauren Gold remember those days.   It's been a long time. But their paths are going to cross once again.
