1984. Miami. Enter the high-stakes world of South Florida's drug culture, where a businessman with CIA ties is about to risk it all.Bobby West is on the edge. As chief financial officer for a Miami holding company and a CIA front, he has overleveraged his business in the go-go 1980s financial culture. He turns to a deal-with-the-devil money laundering operation with a local gangster, Alexander French-a deal which quickly goes south when $3 million goes missing. Now Mr. French, a group of Cuban exiles, and an Israeli smuggler named Adriana Chekhov are all after Bobby West to pay up. With echoes of Iran-Contra and the Orwellian surveillance state, The Edge of America is a stunning thriller about greed, power, and the limits of the American dream.Product Details

Reviews
''Sealy has created characters so thorough and a plot so vivid and intense that I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction. One of the most exciting books I have ever read, I was rocking in my chair the whole time! Masterful.'' -- Carl Kranz, bookseller at Fountain Bookstore in Richmond, VA "(Nominated for a SIBA Okra Pick)"
''In Jon Sealy's Edge of America, like I said about his first novel, crime doesn't pay. Especially when you steal from criminals. Especially criminals who are smarter and more vicious than yourself. An action-packed adventure twisting through Miami and South Carolina.'' -- Jim McFarlane, bookseller at Fiction Addiction in Greenville, SC "(Nominated for an Indie Next and a SIBA Okra Pick)"
''Holly Hernandez is an impulsive teenager. So when she grabs a bundle of cash and a gun from her daddy's safe and takes off on a joy ride with a young man she barely knows, what's the worst that can happen? If only she knew. This is an intricately plotted thriller that shows how actions have consequences...A very entertaining read!'' -- Brent Bunnell, bookseller at Fiction Addiction in Greenville, SC "(Nominated for an Indie Next)"
''Jon Sealy's crisp prose and fast pacing make this thriller a fast and fun read. Perfect for the beach!'' -- Anne Waters, bookseller at Hub City Bookshop in Spartanburg, SC "(Nominated for a SIBA Okra Pick)"
