| Publisher Description: From Scarface to Miami Vice, Hollywood has created indelible images of Miami s criminal underworld. Yet beyond the lurid depictions exists a fascinating history of dramatic true-life crimes tales of vigilante justice, family tragedies, politically motivated homicides and rampageous cross-country killers. And of course, the inevitable stories of celebrities behaving badly as when Jim Morrison allegedly exposed himself during a 1969 Doors concert along with accounts of celebrity murders, such as the shocking 1997 slaying of fashion designer Gianni Versace. Edgy and compulsively readable, Miami s Criminal Past presents the dark acts that have marred Florida s most alluring metropolis." |
