FROM THAILAND, WITH HATE
Lieutenant Martin Castillo is a private, unemotional man. To Miami Vice detectives Crockett and Tubbs their superior is strangely intimidating -- but astonishingly efficient and almost ruthlessly dedicated. Nothing seems to pierce his armour or his ice-cold composure.

But when General Lao Li, one-time overlord of the biggest drug dynasty in the Golden Triangle, moves to Miami, the scene is set for an explosive confrontation between Castillo and a spectre from his mysterious past.

Vietnam holds bitter memories for Miami Vice cop, Sonny Crockett. He got out with his mind intact--but his photojournalist friend Ira Stone wasn't so lucky. The mysterious figure known only as The Sergeant, however, didn't come back crazy--just corrupt and very, very wealthy.

After ten years, The Sergeant is now moving not only dope but mercenaries, turning warfare into big business in Nicaragua, and Stone is on his trail with the help of detectives Crockett and Tubbs, who find themselves trapped in a deadly and vicious war of today.

Miami Vice #6: Hellhole by Stephen Grave
(adapted from the episodes "Walk-Alone" written by W. K. Scott Meyer, and "Shadow In The Dark" written by Chuck Adamson)

WELCOME TO HELL
MIAMI VICE detectives Crockett and Tubbs are pushed to the outer limits of their endurance by their most dangerous mission ever. Crockett becomes so locked into the "think-alike" mindset of a deranged serial killer that his sanity becomes jeopardised. Tubbes turns himself equally inside out to infiltrate under deep cover the worst maximum security prison Florida has to offer.

It's the ultimate stress test--and if one partner cracks, both will die.
