Acerca de esta escucha

1955: Tampa, Florida is a city pulsing with Sicilian and Cuban gangsters, cigar factories, sweet rum, and violence. The death of retired kingpin Charlie Wall—the White Shadow—has shocked the city, sending cops, reporters, and associates scrambling to find those responsible. As the trail winds through neighborhoods rich and poor, enmeshing the innocent and corrupt alike all the way down to the streets and casinos of Havana, an extraordinary story of revenge, honor, and greed emerges. For Charlie Wall had his secrets—secrets that if discovered could destroy a criminal empire and ignite a revolution.

“This book succeeds both as a first-rate historical novel and as a superb crime story. It packs the emotional wallop of Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River. It is as gritty as James Ellroy’s L.A. Confidential. And yet, the prose is as lyrical as James Lee Burke’s Crusader’s Cross. With White Shadow, Atkins has found his true voice.”—Associated Press

One of Tampa's Great Murder Mysteries Solved?

Ace Atkins perfectly captures the vibe of 1950's Tampa's seamy underbelly when corruption was rampant and there was lively competition between the local newspapers. The murder of Tampa's one time bolita king, Charlie Wall, remains the city's most notorious unsolved crime, but Atkins weaves a tale of a young reporter who gets tangled up in the underworld of Ybor City and the crime bosses who make up the city's real power structure. Michael Braun's narration is spot on with only one or two very minor mispronunciations that Tampa residents might catch, but his pacing and noirish style are perfectly suited for recounting the story of a nasty murder and nasty gangsters.
