Scorpion Wind captured my attention from the beginning. Mosca's book is the real deal about law enforcement agencies working together to develop and investigate large scale complex international narcotics trafficking cases. The time period in this book takes place in the exciting, dangerous and deadly early 1990s known as the Miami cocaine wars. The riveting descriptions of Colombia, Miami, characters and events in this book make it a must read. -Floy Turner, Special Agent Florida Department of Law Enforcement (Retired) and Best-Selling Author Scorpion Wind is an intriguing read! The book does a great job of showing the local side of law enforcement, as well as a broader scope of multiple agencies coming together to fight the war on drugs. It's very interesting to have a glimpse into the drug cartels' side of the story! -M. Nooyen, daughter of a Law Enforcement Officer (Retired) Scorpion Wind is an intriguing story with real, authentic characters. A good read. -Edward S. Scott, Author of Dark Daze and Foggy Nights Scorpion Wind started out interesting and didn't let up. Mosca's take on the escalating drug war in the 90s and law enforcement's constant struggles to keep up with the cartel's changing technical methods has vivid descriptions of individuals on both sides of the drug war and give us a peek into a world of danger and duty. -Brian Oppermann, Former United States Marine, Computer Systems Engineer
