Inside accounts and little-known stories of criminal networks
in Florida's past

A vivid, wild
ride through a century of Mafia lore, this book tells stories of organized
crime rings that have settled in Florida and made the state their base of
operations for bootlegging, gambling, extortion, money laundering, and drug
running. Sunshine State Mafia divulges the hidden history of the mob
from the Keys to Pensacola and Jacksonville.

Featuring Al Capone and crime rings
in Miami and South Florida, the Trafficante family in Tampa, Harlan Blackburn
and his gambling empire in Orlando, and many more individuals both infamous and
little-known, this book explains how and why mob bosses from northern states
came to Florida in the early 1900s--they saw the state as a respite from cold
weather and a good place to evade law
