Aprašymas

Along Florida's Gulf Coast, a legendary family of fishermen, smugglers, and pirates built a fortune through audacious schemes that blurred the line between survival and crime. From shipwrecking in the early 1800s to Prohibition-era rum running and the massive marijuana trade of the 1970s, this true story reveals a hidden world of risk, rebellion, and riches.

Set among Boca Grande, the Florida Keys, and the waters of the Gulf, this gripping account follows generations of a family whose exploits became the stuff of local legend. It also reveals the extraordinary life of Raymond Grady Stansel Jr., a Tarpon Springs smuggler who trafficked Colombian Gold marijuana, faked his own death, and reinvented himself as a crocodile tour guide in the Australian wilderness.

Based on firsthand accounts and deep research, this is the unforgettable story of Florida's outlaw past--and the people who lived beyond the edge of the law.
