About the Book When a hit went out on his head by politicians and gang leaders, TRAVIS ALEXANDER left the Jamaican police force to come to the United States. He called BECKER, an old friend living in Miami. Startled at Becker's luxurious lifestyle, the clubs, the women, and the popularity, Travis decided that he didn't want to return to Jamaica. Travis left Miami for Springfield, Massachusetts for MARIA, a vacationing woman he met in Jamaica. But just when you think Travis would take it slow, he met CHARLIE, a big -time Jamaican drug dealer. Lured by the promises of easy money and easy women, Travis started dealing, pulling robberies and getting sexually active with a variety of beautiful women, which ultimately became his downfall. He becomes a suspect in an armoured car robbery. The FBI released Travis after he promised them that he would help them retrieve the stolen money. He sent the FBI on a wild goose chase hoping they wouldn't find out that it was all a gimmick. Travis's saga becomes an ironic morality tale.
