"A vivid story about Miami's countercultural history" Jon Caramanica - THE NEW YORK TIMES

Magic City: Trials of a Native Son is the story of how that potent mixture of extremes, the dazzling beauty and glittering wealth of the Magic City, and the crime, the corruption and the despair playing out in its shadows gave rise to what has now become the most dominant sound in hip hop, in the process revitalizing a stagnant art form. MAGIC CITY, told in Peter Bailey's artful prose, is an ode to the city of Miami, a riveting tale of a paradise lost.
