Angol
Miami, 1977.
The beaches are crowded. The nightclubs are alive. Tourists see paradise.
The detectives see a city about to become a battlefield.
When a series of brutal murders, missing informants, and unusually pure cocaine begin appearing across South Florida, veteran Miami Metro detective Randall "Hitman" Powell and his partner, Bud Campbell, realize they are chasing something far more dangerous than another drug ring. They are witnessing the birth of a criminal empire.
Half a world away, Colombian businessman Miguel Rodriguez has perfected a new business model-one built on secrecy, corruption, and unimaginable wealth. His latest shipment, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is destined to transform Miami into the gateway of America's cocaine trade. Protected by a ruthless assassin, corrupt financiers, and powerful allies on both sides of the law, Rodriguez believes he is untouchable.
As local detectives join forces with federal agents, every breakthrough is answered with another murder. Witnesses vanish. Evidence disappears. Trusted officials betray their oaths. And as the body count rises, Powell finds himself locked in a deadly game against an enemy who always seems to be one step ahead.
From the crowded streets of Little Havana to the glittering towers of Coral Gables, from the docks of the Port of Miami to the jungles of Colombia, White Gold is a sweeping historical crime thriller about power, corruption, loyalty, and the beginning of the cocaine era that forever changed America.
Because some wars don't begin with armies.
They begin with one shipment.
