Some frightening things have been happening to Jim Salvino. Certain people, very bad people, are interested in his help. It’s 1985. Steel is dying and Jim, who brokers the foreign variety, is visiting Miami. Recovering from a rough divorce, full of confusion about himself and with a hot Italian temper, he just may be ready to play. But as he becomes more and more deeply involved and starts to resolve his own ambivalence he begins to unravel the many layers of deceit enmeshing him. A ship from South America is moving closer and his options are getting fewer—and scarier.
The action moves between the Brazilian jungle, Rust Belt snow and a cooking Miami sun, and it’s propelled by real characters: smart guys, tough guys and beautiful women, all full of complexity and hidden motives—and capable of anything when the stakes are high enough.
