“Lucht’s engaging prose style and keen ethnographic eye provide for a captivating narrative on a form of population movement often in the news but rarely if ever really understood.” --Jeffrey E. Cole, author with Sally Booth of Dirty Work: Immigrants in Domestic Service, Agriculture, and Prostitution in Sicily. “Few ethnographers manage to integrate in-depth multi-sited fieldwork, enthralling narrative and innovative theory as well as Hans Lucht does in this study of existential reciprocity among Ghanaian fishermen forced by dwindling catches to embark on hazardous migrations to Europe in search of the wherewithall of life. In Lucht's capable hands, these stories become an allegory of our times.” --Michael Jackson, author of Life Within Limits: Well-Being in a World of Want. "An original, comprehensive, and skilled study, Darkness before Daybreak provides the reader with a real sense of the quality and meaning of existence in Ghana and in Naples, while providing enough historical and political/economic context to permit a nuanced critical analysis of globalization theory." --Peter Schneider, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology, Fordham University, and author with Jane Schneider of Reversible Destiny: Mafia, Antimafia, and the Struggle for Palermo.

J.C. Stringer is once again hurled into action, off his sailboat, and racing against time. Not that he wants to be, or is expected to be. It’s what he does. There had always been small talk between the drivers, those waiting to start work, and those waiting to go home. It came with the job. It was part of the experience, part of pickups, and part of the deliveries, the thoughts and the possibilities. The ‘what if’s,’ what would you do, how would you handle it, if one day you were out on your route and a package fell off a shelf, busted open, and was full of money, diamonds, drugs, or something that could instantly changed your life. Better yet, what if a package had been placed on your truck on purpose, without being scanned, and with no way of it ever being traced. What would you do? How would you handle it? Not that it mattered, not that the thought actually did anything more than pass time in the realm of everyday speculations. It was nothing more than small talk, between employees with nothing better to do. The thought was simply myth and legend, put together and analyzed, piece-by- piece by old worn out knee and hip replaced drivers, those who continued counting days until retirement. Nothing ever came from it, because it wasn’t going to happen. It couldn’t happen. Not until the day Stuckey Gruber decided to actually make it happen… Now he’s a wanted man, and J.C. Stringer is the only man capable of actually finding him. Enjoy this high stakes adventure as Jimmy Chase Stringer leaves the peace and quite of his sailboat, the Brenda Kay II, and, by following his instincts, winds up south of Miami, heading towards the southern tip of the Keys, before sailing to the Bimini Islands, on the heals of a man who is now simply known as Red, a man looking for a second chance, and a better way of life. Only problem, Stringer isn’t the only one looking for Stuckey Gruber. The men sending the package want it back. The men waiting on the package want it back. The men planning the heist expect it back. And, the delivery package company, EDS, and their security team, they want the whole mess to go away, along with the employee they once knew as Stuckey “The Breeze” Gruber.
