Thirteen years prior to Dixie Moon, Adel Destin is far from rock bottom, and far from coming clean. In fact, the Manhattan-born dope smuggler is on top of his game. Or so he thinks. Barely escaping Marseilles with his life, Adel lands on the exclusive Caribbean island of St. Barts, where he soon runs afoul of the local crime boss and finds himself in a race for his life. Turns out life on plush St.-Barts can be as cheap as in the meanest asphalt jungle. "Cuzon's terrific novel is reminiscent of George Pelecanos's loving portraits of quotidian D.C.," says bestselling author Laura Lippman. "Adel Destin is no innocent, but that's the point--violence washes over all the characters in this novel, sparing no one. I read it in two greedy sittings, but I feel as if I had the luxury of spending an entire season in St. Barts, albeit one the tourists never see."
