Sunshine State

by Jay Busbee, Juan García (Illustrator)

MIAMI, 1989. A world of sin and neon, where drugs and cash flow in and out like the tide. Jack Cash is Miami's finest detective, but even the best may not be good enough to handle the wave of evil that threatens to swamp the city. MIAMI, 2013. The players have changed, but the game's the same. Power and money: get it however you can, and always go for more. Jack's son Aaron has followed his father onto the force, and is learning fast that the Miami of today is every bit as dangerous, and deadly, as the days of the cocaine cowboys. Now, a secret from the past that destroyed Jack has returned to bring down Aaron. Can the son avenge the father, or will the Sunshine State claim them both?
