In Chapter 1 of the new book "Miami Babylon" by Pulitzer-prize finalist Gerald Posner, the predominant focus and introduction to the story revolves around "Sins" author and 3-term Miami Beach Mayor, Alex Daoud. http://books.simonandschuster.com/Miami-Babylon/Gerald-Posner/9781416576563/excerpt

 

In addition, another new book entitled "Fool's Paradise: Players, Poseurs, and the Culture of Excess in South Beach" by best-selling author Steven Gaines (contributing editor at New York Magazine) devotes an entire chapter to Mayor Daoud! http://books.google.com/books?id=Bw8rSSPg298C&lpg=PA152&ots=Hix4Aim8Jn&dq=Fool's%20Paradise%20Alex%20Daoud&pg=PA139#v=onepage&q=&f=false

 

Just a few more reasons to believe that the subject matter and in-depth stories covered in "Sins of South Beach" would make for a GREAT movie!
