MIAMI OUTLAW: KID TO KINGPIN Kindle Edition

Miami Outlaw: Kid to Kingpin is a gripping true crime memoir rooted in the drug-smuggling underworld of 1970s–1980s Miami. Told by Scott Sherouse—the man who brought Alex DeCubas into the game and whose story was featured in ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 documentary Pin Kings—this book traces a world of brotherhood, betrayal, and multimillion-dollar cocaine pipelines that spanned three continents.From middle school wrestling mats to South Florida docks, Sherouse witnessed and shaped Alex's transformation from a driven kid to an international trafficker. Together, they smuggled illicit drugs and robbed other drug traffickers, while staying one step ahead of the DEA, the Colombian cartels, and the betrayal that would eventually divide them.Miami Outlaw is part confessional, part cultural history, and part anthropological exposé—a window into the real Miami hidden beneath the tourist gloss and pastel lights. With brutal honesty, Sherouse explores the moral collapse behind the myth of fast money and the American drug war. This is a story of ambition, loyalty, and downfall—the American Dream in reverse.Perfect for readers of Cocaine Cowboys, Don Winslow, Narcos, and fans of Blow, Scarface, and ESPN's Pin Kings.
