On the eve of Thanksgiving 1936, John and Mayme Surrency, a hardworking couple running a lunch counter and check-cashing business at the Fruit Growers Express in Jacksonville, are ambushed in a seemingly random robbery gone wrong. But as State’s Attorney Garland Headley digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling conspiracy tied to organized crime, political corruption, and a dark family secret linked to Mayme’s past struggles with addiction. From the vibrant streets of Jacksonville to the sun-drenched fields of 1950s Cuba, The Surrency Affair follows Garland’s relentless pursuit of justice, his forbidden love for Nhi Kurosawa, and the sacrifices made to protect a Japanese-American family from the looming threat of internment during World War II. This is a story of love, loss, and the enduring fight against systemic injustice, inspired by the real-life tragedy of the author’s family.
 
Louis Berry weaves a narrative that is both a pulse-pounding crime thriller and a deeply moving portrait of resilience and hope. Through vivid prose and meticulous historical detail, readers are transported to a time of economic hardship, racial tension, and moral ambiguity, where one man’s quest for truth challenges the very foundations of power. The Surrency family’s legacy, intertwined with Garland’s personal journey, offers a powerful reflection on the costs of standing up to corruption and the eternal bonds that transcend time and place.
