A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE CIGARETTE BOAT KING

In the Miami of the 1980s, it was the ultimate symbol of power and wealth: the roaring muscle speed boat known as the Cigarette. And the undisputed king of the Cigarette Boat was Don Aronow, the man who built the million-dollar playtoys for presidents, princes and the privileged. Aronow was a man with an insatiable appetite for ravishing women and the exquisite feel of money washing through his fingers. He had it all. Then on February 3, 1987, an unknown assailant gunned Aronow down a Miami street, a few hundred yards from his own boatyard. The murder would confound investigators, shock an already crime-weary city, and reveal a dark world of criminality, corruption and violence that existed within the Sunshine State.

From his unrestrained life to his savage death, SPEED KILLS delivers the players, the proposals and the deals gone wrong that surrounded the Cigarette Boat King: his fast friends, the faster women, and his brutal enemies. A compelling work of investigative reporting, this book probes one of the most baffling crimes of our time, and vividly illustrates that those who live by speed, die by it as well.
