Riders in Disguise is the first book in a trilogy that takes a broad look at the most influential decade in South Florida's history through the prism of four individuals: Rig Lopez-Campbell, a Liberty City middle-schooler whose father's been recently incarcerated; Tommy Munoz, a Pedro Pan survivor dragged into the violent world of cocaine trafficking; Tina Pacheco, a freelance photographer turned journalist after capturing images of the '79 Dadeland Mall Massacre; and Ralph Williams, a homicide detective tasked with stemming the tide of carnage in the face of growing corruption within his own department.
