From the Depths — Gary Naiman

Revenge is best served cold. Betrayed by the friends he trusted and woman he loved, Harry Langston roams the streets of New York begging for enough cash to buy his next bottle of bum wine and packet of Jerky. Five years of hard time have morphed this gentle man into an animal dodging the vermin lurking in the city's alleys and subway tunnels. But Harry's pathetic world is about to change. A failed mob hit will soon lead him to a homeless African American boxer, a crazed charter boat captain, and a deadly sea battle against the Sinaloa drug cartel for a treasure beyond his imagination. A new antihero is rising and heaven help those who betrayed him."The Depths pulls you in." (JR)"Recommended for its fast pace, realistic dialogue, and explosive ending." (AC)"A believable story about a guy who gets screwed by his friends and wife. Great dialogue, including flashbacks, and the desperation bonding of Langston and Tatum. The scenes beneath the superstructures of Manhattan are very imaginable and the courtroom dynamics really pulled me into the story. The surprise ending and the conflict in Baja makes From the Depths a good read." (LC)"Quite timely, given the recent news about El Chapo Guzman and the Sinaloa cartel." (LM)Gary Naiman has written fourteen novels. His background includes classified projects within the chemical and weapons industries. One of his books, P.P.M, is being considered for a motion picture.
