Laura and Sam are obsessed with film noir. Within their sun-drenched apartment in Miami, they watch 1940's black and white films, whose characters move around in shadows and small slats of light. They're fascinated with a Hollywood genre without happy endings, where many people are corrupt, where fans betray one another, where the war might be over and the guys might be home, but where nothing is heading back to the way it was. And in Miami in 1986, the tide of another war is going to sweep in. Refugees are arriving from Central America. Cocaine kings sail the highways with impressive artillery. Mercenaries rehearse in the Everglades for participation in the Contra War. By November, 304 folks have been wiped out in Miami. Anything can happen there. Linda Mannheim's first novel, Risk, is set in South Africa through the Truth and Reconciliation Fee hearings. It had been shortlisted for book of the entire year by journalist Jenny Crwys Williams.
