Bad Boys & Girls Miami: True Stories of Crime from Miami's Past

by Karen Dustman

Every city has its underworld side. And glittering Miami is no exception.

From its earliest days as a dream castle on the sand, Miami has been home to gamblers and grifters. Tempers have flared and gunfire occasionally followed. Tales of murder, jealousy, gold-lust, revenge – all have played out against the backdrop of Miami’s steamy nights and sizzling days.

Here are eight fascinating true stories of “bad boys and girls” from Miami’s early days. It’s wild and quirky history at its finest: a dizzying rollercoaster journey through an underworld of gangsters, bank robbers, jilted lovers and kidnappers. It’s also a fascinating glimpse of the way justice was ― and wasn’t ― served, back in the day. All retold for you in this fun collection by a seasoned story-teller and former D.A.

Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!

I loved this book, I just wished it was longer. I found the stories about the criminals fascinating! It was well written with just the right amount of description.
