Brace yourself for this candid and darkly funny sequel to Lynn Walker’s award-winning book, Midnight Calling: A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler’s Daughter.

Fiercely determined to live without drugs and alcohol, Lynn has rebuilt her life—survived, somehow, her dad and his cocaine—but she can’t seem to find all the pages to life’s instruction manual.

With wit and insight, she takes us on a journey, and what a trip it is! Knocking over chairs and trying not to drink vodka in a Russian castle. Peeing next to a wild grizzly bear. Cocaine-addicted lab rats. Trudging through the wilderness of relationships in search of this thing called love.

Even if you’ve never struggled with addiction (or love), you’ll find humor and wisdom in this very human, true story of how we can use just about anything—booze, relationships, even potato chips—to try to change the way we feel.

A Perfectly Good Fantasy is an authentic and stubbornly hopeful memoir but be prepared—you just might catch a glimpse of yourself on this wild ride.

John Walker was a Miami undercover narcotics agent in the 1970s. Ten years later, he was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. In prison, he connected with a South American drug lord who was still running the family operation from inside the federal pen. Within months of being paroled, John began smuggling again—this time uncut Colombian cocaine. And this time, he put everything on the line: his freedom, his family and, ultimately, his life.

Breaking Midnight: A True Story shines a light on the gritty underbelly of Miami drug trafficking and the danger of leading a double life—as an undercover narc or a smuggler. Written by Lynn Walker based on interviews with her father, John, this is an uncensored, up-close-and-personal account of how a good cop goes bad.
