In the politically charged years of the early 1980s many immigrants escaped a nightmarish existence under Castro's rule and fled Cuba for America. One immigrant would cut a bloody path of destruction across the Florida landscape in a rampage fueled by drugs, rage and paranoia. In a dark vision of the American Dream gone wrong, Oliver Stone and Brian De Palma created a classic character in Tony Montana in their re-envisioning of the mobster tale Scarface. But Tony Montana's story didn't begin there. In these two new novels from DH Press we will take you inside the life of Montana, going back to the years before his arrival in America to see what events shaped him into the man he became and what dire choices set him on the course of madness that would lead to a carnage-filled conclusion in the streets of Miami. But Tony Montana's story didn't begin there.
