The setting is the real battle between gangsters and law enforcement during the mostly failed effort to enforce Prohibition in South Florida.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Florida native Eliot Kleinberg, creator of the Civil War historical novel &amp;quot;Peace River,&amp;quot; the&amp;quot;Adventures of Nate Moran&amp;quot; novels, and the original &amp;quot;Weird Florida&amp;quot; books, spent nearly a half-century reporting on local news and writing about Florida and Florida history. He produced two history columns and wrote fourteen books -- and co-wrote or contributed to several more -- all of them about Florida. Son of longtime journalist Howard Kleinberg, he lectures regularly on Florida topics and runs a blog on better writing called &amp;quot;Something Went Horribly Wrong.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links We Mentioned&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.ekfla.com/'&gt;Eliot&amp;apos;s website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.ekfla.com/newsletter'&gt;Eliot&amp;apos;s newsletter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.levelbestbooks.us/'&gt;Level Best books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/authors/pw-select/article/85267-pantser-or-planner.html'&gt;Planner or Pantser?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.levelbestbooks.us/authors/eliot-kleinberg'&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hypocrite&amp;apos;s Row&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://bookshop.org/'&gt;Bookshop.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="payment" href="https://paypal.me/floridaspectacular?country.x=US&amp;amp;locale.x=en_US"&gt;Support the show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Question or comment?
