Blood in the Cut

Iggy Guerra returns home from prison to find his beloved mother dead and buried, his father Armando a beer-soaked mess, and the Miami butcher shop that has been in their family for generations about to be gentrified into bankruptcy.

When Iggy's mistakes plunged his family into debt, his heartbroken and furious father got in too deep with a group of suspected poachers who are forcing him to use the shop for their illegal operations. But if Iggy will do some work for them, tracking down an animal rights investigator in the swamps of the Everglades, maybe they'll let his old man off the hook. Only the activist might not be the only body they're looking to bury.

Sharp as a butcher knife gleaming in the Miami sun, Blood in the Cut is a story of fathers and sons, bloody conflict, fast cars, community, and the lines a family will and won't cross to survive. From the Miami streets behind the glitz to the untamable, deadly Everglades, Iggy will revel in the beauty and the danger of the place he calls home as he tries to save his family-without losing himself forever.
