  The silent Don is a great book. It goes in to all the plots to overthrow Castro to the assassins of President Kennedy being planned to have happened in Tampa, the information on the French Connection. Very interesting.

  My grandfather, CV Williams was a captain in TPD with Mayors Nuccio and Greco. He knew all the mobsters, including Trafficante Jr. He also headed up the vice squad and knew Dick Cloud, before he was murdered (inside job), probably due to his probable testimony to the feds with the Kefauer commission. Tampa has a very interesting, dark and sordid history.

  He&apos;s in Cigar City and The lone eagle books. He changed history..this is more Ybor City lore. People were assassinated fighting these monsters and paid the price to get rid of him like my uncle.

  Allot of people do not know my uncle Richard L Cloud went to school with Tropicanies sons . My dad told me that. One of them.were jealous of my uncle. My dad knew them. We have pictures of Tampa when it was nothing. How old my family ties are. Noone talked to the family. They tried to punish the family after they tried to defame his name and he took him down with FBI. They waited 16 years to put a memorial up for him. They had one in Tallahassee. I was a basic recruit and road on the bus with TPD. They looked at me weird. I had one guy say he was detectives with him and he had his picture on his wall. &nbsp;Invited me to come visit but I could not do it or would never put an application in at TPD. It would of disrespected my uncle and I would be digging into his death
