Al Capone's Miami: Paradise or Purgatory?

Laced with recollections from former neighbors and acquaintances, Al Capone's Miami gives, for the first time, a complete and documented account of the notorious gangster's years in Florida. From establishing his headquarters in the Ponce de Leon Hotel to clandestinely purchasing his home on Palm Island, from hiring a 17-year-old aviator to fly his contraband liquor into Biscayne Bay to running an illicit packing house in Deerfield Beach, from throwing parties to try to fit in to beating indictments by local law enforcement, and from humorous stories of his gang on the golf course to revenge attacks on local citizens, this story will captivate anyone with an interest in one of America's most notorious gangsters.
