On a rainy New Year’s Eve, 1963, James Sylk jumped off the Dalton River Bridge into the black water below, leaving behind a wife and newborn son. Why? Federal agent John Sylk has been pondering that very question for almost forty years, and with his mother Mary on her deathbed, he may never find out. One night, in a Demerol-induced litany, Mary utters four words that will turn John’s life upside down: "Daddy shot the President." Aided by an aging Special Ops man and a beautiful reporter, John dives head-first into the maw of the conspiracy, facing the omnipotent power of "The Invictus Group" - a secret cabal of industrialist tycoons who use their vast fortunes to influence world events. On the run and facing impossible odds, John learns that he has an even bigger problem: Invictus plans to assassinate the new President in just twenty-four hours.

For thirteen years, Montana "Mojo" Jones and Sam "Pooch" Puchetti have owned "The Empornium" - a seedy strip club in a quiet, octogenarian-infested Florida town. But thanks to a recently-passed law banning nudity within county limits, grandstanding District Attorney Maynard Wilkes is about to snap a big padlock on the Empornium, putting his nemeses out of business for good. Maybe. Mojo and Pooch have just discovered a loophole in county law that allows nudity, but only in a stageplay setting.They buy and refurbish "The Royale" - a once-elegant old theatre that has been closed for twenty-two years - with the idea of staging Shakespearean classics...nude. |

Now a reclusive entrepreneur, Ket leads a quiet, peaceful existence. Enter Rachel Diaz: a piss-and-vinegar single mom struggling to keep her eight year-old son Benny in skateboards and schoolyards. Their lonely worlds collide one sunny afternoon when Ket rescues Rachel and Benny from the Kromies - Miami’s biggest and baddest street gang. In saving Rachel and Benny, Ket unwittingly vaults himself into the maw of the American Media Machine, igniting a personal firestorm rife with gangbangers, lawsuits, nosey detectives, and perhaps the biggest obstacle he’s ever faced: The love of a woman half his age.
