About this book

Book Summary

It was only a matter of time until Serge and Coleman did the inevitable--spring break. Meanwhile, a Miami crime gang still bears a grudge against a former associate who entered the witness protection program. While they can’t get to the turncoat, they learn about his son, now college-age, which means -- you guessed it -- he heads to Florida for spring break. When the gang picks up the son’s trail, Serge picks up the gang’s, and the chase is on --back through “time” as Serge must take a growing cast to all the state’s historic landmarks of the famous annual rite of youth.
