Lies WithinIn 1999, Michael Largo published Lies Within from Tropical Press. Miningco.com (now About.com) said this about it:

The first twenty pages of this novel will have you on the edge of your seat. But the true test of a great thriller is its ability to sustain that chilling and nail-biting suspense. Lies Within meets that challenge head on...
...With its complicated plot involving the twins and their parents, the CIA, corrupt law enforcement, alligator poaching, a heroin drug cartel, a political uprising, and more, Lies Within takes readers on one hell of a ride. Largo establishes the players and the crimes early on, but to understand what's really going on, you'll be reading right up to the last few pages. A terrifying opening scene, a fast-paced thriller, and lots and lots of alligators - Lies Within will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

Lies Within is available from Buy.com.


In 1999, Tropical Press, Inc. published Michael Largo's novel, Southern Comfort, which is availible from Alibris.com. Kliat says that it "approaches poetry" and The Library Journal had this to say about it:

Southern Comfort is realistic convincing characters, brilliant dialogue; it's set in the Florida swampland where there's endless mud, dampness; night roads, dim rooms, fishing for catfish and deepsea fishing for sailfish; alliagators and slamming screen doors. A profusion of detailed description celebrates life while, thematically. Largo explores the mystery of death as transformation.

Welcome to MiamiMichael's newest novel is Welcome to Miami, also availible from Buy.com and published by Tropical Press, is Michael's latest book. Miami has been called America's tropical playground, Gateway to the Americas, and heralded as a glimpse into how the nation's metropolitan areas will be in the future. It's a unique city promising a dynamic blend of cultures. It is also the preferred destination of exiles and refugees seeking the American Dream. Welcome to Miami is a story narrated by Max, a native Floridian born in the Everglades telling of his time with one headline grabbing Cuban infiltrator, Emilio Garcia Abierto, an exile who first arrived with 125,000 other refugees during the Mariel exodus. Although Welcome to Miami could not get People Magazine's sexiest Mayor, Alex Penelas or the Miami Tourist Board's endorsement, it is an entertaining and insightful tale of Cubans, Miami, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the sun.
