Description:5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Can we have a few more stars? June 1, 2013As an avid reader who loves the whole thriller genre, I can say with no hesitation whatsoever - be CERTAIN not to miss this one. I can't remember when I last enjoyed reading a book as much as I did this one.The characters are all drawn to perfection and the author's knowledge of his locale was perfect. Having grown up in Miami, I can tell you that he knows the city as well as anyone who's ever been there. As an example, when he referred to Freedom Tower in downtown Miami, he mentioned that it was once the Miami News building. It became Freedom Tower in the early 1960s when the Miami News moved to a new building on NW 7th Street. So the Miami News hasn't been there for more than 50 years and in fact went out of business on the last day of 1988 - 25 years ago. It was nice to see it even slightly remembered.While countless books have been written about the cocaine cowboys of the 1980s and 1990s when South Beach became renovated, I can't remember a more enjoyable story than this one. The TV series Miami Vice, which ran for five years in the late 1980s was also famous for the drug war stories in Miami. You might think that, with all the history of those drug years, nothing new could be written. Well, this book makes it all like something entirely new.It was interesting to me that at the end, the author has Christian Malle, the main character, write a movie about the story in the book. All I can say to that is that I can't wait to see THAT film. Malle's character, and those of his surrounding players are all extremely well developed and the reader has a chance to get very close to them.All in all, a really GREAT read and one of those books about which you say, "I'm sorry I finished it. Another couple of hundred pages would have been excellent."Two words - GET IT!!(Amazon Verified Purchase Review)"I just finished Versions of The Truth...engaging...loved all the Miami location references. ..great!" RS"I don’t have time for much leisure reading, but I really enjoyed this! The Miami settings were great. Lots of twists and good endings!" CK"Almost to the end and thoroughly enjoying it!" RBVersions of the Truth is a taut, psychological thriller set in the dark world of South Florida's drugs, death and money merchants. Christian Malle is 29. His drug-dealing father disappeared 15 years ago and left him a fortune; his loving mother died of cancer ten years ago and left him an empty heart; his girlfriend dumped him for his own brother - and was murdered in broad daylight on South Beach one year ago today. She left him nothing but questions. Why was Christian's cop brother dating her just before she died? Who were the two high-priced assassins in the car with her and why did Casto and Chavez let them come to the U.S.? Who killed them all and why?Mainly: what really happened with his father back then, and what did his brother have to do with it? Will Christian's new girlfriend offer any hope, or just cloud the salt water of his soul?Set against the real backdrop of Miami's "Cuba problem," Versions of the Truth seeks to find the truth behind South Florida's troubled history, and the pain in one man's life. The answers are all disturbing.The sex is as hot as the tropics, the body count as high as the temperature, and the intrigue as thick as a red tide. No one is safe - especially from themselves.Show LessWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
