Official synopsis Publisher
Dominic Amicci’s Sicilian blood was up because he wanted his stolen money back and the Tampa Bay Kid dead.
The Cuban cigar smuggling operation into Ybor City had been lining Amicci’s pockets with easy money until the Kid’s gang of street rats had interrupted the flow.
While the Kid was away at his mother’s funeral, his band of half-breed teens had made a mistake. Now everybody was paying for it.
After Amicci’s henchmen sunk the pontoon boat that the Kid and his friends lived on and started killing off the kids one by one, the Kid takes actions into his own hands.
Soon everybody wants a piece of the Tampa Bay Kid: the nasty gangsters of Ybor City, Tampa Police Homicide Detective Dave O’Brien, the lovely television news reporter Laura Jeanette, and the meticulous and cunning hit woman known in the underworld as D.M. Under the unrelenting pressure, something is going to explode.
Can the Kid bust out of the mean streets of Tampa Bay and find a new way of living? Can he save his girlfriend Kim-Lu and his loyal mentor “Doc”, the retired professor?
The Kid’s hope is spiked when running from certain death. He dashes right into the arms of Buck Running Cloud. Buck persuades the Kid to come to the high desert to find peace. Another journey unfolds – leading the Kid to a breathtaking wilderness and a way of living beyond his wildest dreams.
