    Jul 21 2023
    Do not listen to your screen readers because if I hear anyone pronounce the city as Biloxi instead of using the native pronunciation of Biluxi, I’m liable to kick you out of the room. The NLS annotation follows: The boys from Biloxi DB110627 Grisham, John; Beck, Michael Reading time: 17 hours, 25 minutes. Michael Beck Suspense Fiction Friendship Fiction Mystery and Detective Stories Family Legal Fiction "For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith’s father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to “clean up the Coast.” Hugh’s father became the “Boss” of Biloxi’s criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father’s footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father’s clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom. Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters." -- Provided by publisher. Unrated.
