Mangoes Gone?
Sarah Jane Vatelot
In 1986, Tropicana Field was commissioned without a prospective tenant or any interest from a major league baseball team, and failed to attract a baseball tenant until eight years after its completion in 1990.

Amy Romano, a flamenco dancer in Tampa’s Latin district, is on the run. The mobsters think she’s a snitch for J. Edgar Hoover’s moonshine-busting G-men. They want her head. The G-men think she’s an accessory to the murder of an agent, and they’re hell-bent on bringing her to justice. Her only hope for survival is in the Gypsy magic she learned from her old abuela. Will it work? She doesn’t know until light bulbs pop, paintings fall off the wall, and she finds love with a Cajun veteran of the Great War who bootlegs by airplane.
