Description
1984. Miami. Enter the high-stakes world of South Florida’s drug culture, where a businessman with CIA ties is about to risk it all.
Bobby West is on the edge. As chief financial officer for a Miami holding company and a CIA front, he has overleveraged his business in the go-go 1980s financial culture. He turns to a deal-with-the-devil money laundering operation with a local gangster, Alexander French—a deal which quickly goes south when $3 million goes missing. Now Mr. French, a group of Cuban exiles, and an Israeli smuggler named Adriana Chekhov are all after Bobby West to pay up.
With echoes of Iran-Contra and the Orwellian surveillance state, The Edge of America is a stunning thriller about greed, power, and the limits of the American dream.
Advance Praise
“Sealy has created characters so thorough and a plot so vivid and intense that I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction. One of the most exciting books I have ever read, I was rocking in my chair the whole time! Masterful.” — Carl Kranz, Fountain Bookstore (Richmond, VA)
“Crime doesn’t pay. Especially when you steal from criminals. Especially criminals who are smarter and more vicious than yourself. A darkly comical and entertaining literary thriller.” — Jim McFarlane, Fiction Addiction (Greenville, SC)
“In The Edge of America, Jon Sealy thrusts us into the rancid heart of our country in 1984—the greed and unrelenting violence, the spiritual blindness, the domestic ennui ... Sealy knows everything, no matter who we are, or how we live. By God, get this book and hold on for dear life.” —Dennis Covington, National Book Award finalist for Salvation on Sand Mountain
“The Edge of America kept me up way too late, but I couldn’t put it down! Set in 1984 South Florida and populated with a multitude of dangerous characters ... Jon Sealy’s adrenaline-fueled, action packed journey through Miami’s dark underbelly and beyond will keep readers’ hearts racing through its final word.” —Michel Stone, award-winning author of The Iguana Tree and Border Child
