For years, it was simply called \"the accident.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut many things weren't getting discussed. Like Lamar himself--a swashbuckling, larger-than-life pilot, a doting father and husband, and the most popular farmer in Georgia. Or that the IRS had immediately taken everything: the chickens, the airplanes, the islands in the Bahamas. . . . Afterwards, Artis and her mother broke contact with everyone and fled, rebuilding from the bottom up as if Lamar's big, wild life had never happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears later, a friend tells Artis Lamar's plane was sabotaged: her father had been one of the biggest drug smugglers in Miami in the 1970s. At the time of his death, he was about to testify in a corruption trial that had swept up everyone from the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, to a US district attorney, to the Columbian drug cartels. But the deeper Artis digs, the more unexpected the story becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the dramatic betrayals, glamorous drug lords, and geopolitical intrigue is the beating heart of this riveting memoir: a daughter's grappling with a dark legacy and her memories of the father who had been the light of her life.
