A Pulitzer Prize-winning Author The Shadows is a historic 1920s house that inspires preservationists' dreams and developers' schemes. Built during Prohibition by a notorious rumrunner who vanished at sea, it was inherited by his son, a local athlete and war hero who lived down his father's wild reputation. He served a term as Miami mayor and raised his four children at The Shadows, until a shotgun ambush on a hot summer night - and a murder that was never solved.
