Scorpion Wind

In Joseph E. Mosca's first Trooper John Stella mystery novel, readers are taken on a ride of crime that's filled with twists and turns they won't soon forget in this police procedural.




"Scorpion Wind captured my attention from the beginning. Mosca's book is the real deal about law enforcement agencies working together to develop and investigate large scale complex international narcotics trafficking cases. The time period in this book takes place in the exciting, dangerous and deadly early 1990s known as the Miami cocaine wars. The riveting descriptions of Colombia, Miami, characters, and events in this book make it a must read."

-Floy Turner, Special Agent Florida Department of Law Enforcement (Retired) and Best-Selling Author




It's Miami, circa 1994. Murder still runs rampant and drug dealers flaunt their money and power openly throughout South Florida. Trooper John Stella is a native-born Miamian and is thrust into the hunt for illicit drugs.

Reunited with his canine, Spec, he is partnered with senior trooper, Florey Baker. Together, they go from simple traffic stops to being hunted by the very cartel whose drugs they seek to find and remove from the streets of Miami.
