The Real King of Miami: The story of convicted murderer Ray "Li'l Ray" Thompson Paperback – September 29, 2022

There is not much to say or add. A very compelling read and a snapshot of life in South Florida during the 70's and 80's.

This was one of those books I could not put down once I started reading it. I’m not going to put to much detail because I might spoil it for others but this book is a must read.

Lil Ray was like a real-life Scarface! He built a huge empire smuggling marijuana and had a serious problem with drugs, using an ounce of cocaine a day to stay awake for 5-6 days straight. His story is full of ups and downs. He rose to great power but also faced very sad moments, like when his 7-year-old son was tragically killed by a drunk driver in front of their house. Eventually, Lil Ray was sentenced to the electric chair. This book tells the exciting and emotional story of Lil Ray's life. If you enjoy stories about real people who faced big challenges and made huge choices, this book is for you! I highly recommend.

Being born in South Florida & having Family there still, found this to be very interesting read. Eric did awesome keeping you in the Moment!! Awesome , a must Read!!!
