"I don't know the details, but I can assure you, if the patrónes in Colombia trust her with their billions, we can trust her.
"Okay. Give her a call," Jimmy said. "The last thing we need is the Feds shining lights up our asses."
She took his hand. "The thing you have to remember is this: you're number two man under Maxie Méndez now and you can be goddamn sure the Feds have him in their sights. There's probably a room in the FBI office here in Miami with a kind of corporate flow chart on the wall. Maxie's photo at the top and your photo right underneath, along with Flaco, Renato, and all the rest of them right under yours."
Jimmy shivered a little at that thought. He knew he wasn't exactly invisible. He was definitely known to law enforcement, of that much he was certain. But to think of his photo on a wall at the FBI office. Feds gazing at it on a daily basis, their dicks getting hard at the thought of busting him.They were expending energy and money to build a case against him, to send his Cuban ass to prison for decades, to rip him from Nora's arms and deprive him of her boundless love.
All so those jerkoffs could celebrate afterward with a big dinner on the taxpayers' dime at some restaurant and congratulate each other on what a great job they're doing protecting the citizens of the United States from the likes of Jimmy Quintana.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I have loved noir fiction all my life. Among my favorite authors are Jim Thompson, Mickey Spillane, Don Winslow, and David Goodis. I've called South Florida home for twenty-five years, and I've devoted myself to completing the Miami Crime Trilogy. Against The Wind is the second novel in that series.
