About this ebook
"In 1931, former U.S. serviceman, Cyrus Gables returns home to his native Florida only to find that the economic scourge of the 'Great Depression' has financially ruined hundreds of poor sharecroppers including his very own parents. To add insult to injury, the heartless local bankers mercilessly repossess the farms of dozens of families unable to pay their taxes. Outraged
and determined to settle the score, the ex~soldier and Kay Johnson his pregnant, southern belle girlfriend take up bank robbery as a means to an end. As their sucessful bank heists become increasingly frequent and brazen, the interracial crime couple attracts the attention of the state governor, county sheriffs and angry lynch mobs throughout the Sunshine state, who vow to take them down either dead or alive.

Dramas he read in novels by great writers such as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim captivated his attention.
