More importantly, Silicon Valley did not have the answers, either. That’s when Michael Keresman saw an opportunity to refine the digital payments process. Only his name or his company, CardinalCommerce may not sound familiar.

Resembling a traditional English village green, it is surrounded by the manicured lawns of magnificent houses and is the pride of the citizens of Greenhaven.

In Havana, Cuba, on the eve of the Revolution, two brothers are swept apart by the unpredictable tides of history which will change, unite and finally destroy them both.

Miami is not unique among American cities for having so many homicides. It is unique however, for having so many bizarre and exotic ones. The book describes twenty some homicides which range from the usual crimes of passion and mob hits to robberies gone-wrong and political assassinations.

Miami was never a town, not even a village; it sprang to life out of the tropical wilderness, as a fully formed magical city. London, Paris, and Rome are just three of the world’s cities that are crammed full of history; events, personalities, stories that never fail to fascinate and entertain. But they have had two-thousand years to evolve those stories. Miami is barely one-hundred years old but is already as full of history as any place else on the planet.

The seven volumes of In Search of Lost Time have been translated into more than a dozen languages, including several different English versions, but the twelve volumes of A Dance to the Music of Time have been translated into only three other languages.

This book seeks to compare the two novels and the two novelists, and attempt to explain or at least explore the disparity in their respective receptions."
